The accountant's report arrived three days before the grant committee's final meeting. Peter sent it to the board and copied the vendors who had been listed as project partners. The report showed that the hotel had used a portion of the wedding deposits to cover overdue construction invoices. The project had been running short of cash for months. Cal had moved the money without board approval.
It also showed that he had filed the signed floral contract as evidence of secured future revenue. The contract helped the hotel obtain a short-term loan.
The signature review remained inconclusive about who had written my name. The security footage showed Cal alone in the office with the paper before it was submitted. It didn't prove he signed it. It made it harder to believe his explanation.
