Beatrice frowned. “What are you planning?”
“You’ll find out tonight,” I said.
Walter turned to her. “The banquet will go ahead, but Rachel will help organize it.”
“Her? Absolutely not!”
“Then I’ll explain to the board why I withdrew my recommendation.”
That could be interesting.
“You’re blackmailing me!”
“I’m giving you a chance to prove you care about charity.”
Beatrice glared at me. “Fine. But no public humiliation.”
“Then you’d better behave.”
