The invitations for the dinner party went out the next day. All of my department heads and their plus ones were invited. I also went over the menu with Benson before going to school.
He helped me plan a sumptuous dinner that would show respect for my executives. Even though I had certain expectations, I wanted them to know they were valued and appreciated.
Yesterday, Victor spent an hour going over the seating arrangements with me. He knows better than me as to who should be seated next to whom. All the guests should feel comfortable.
I personally laid out the place cards this morning, and the best china and silver embossed with the Wilson crest were being used.
Alex showed up in the main dining room, where we entertained large parties of guests and admired the work that had been done
