Chapter 3 The Public Face Vs Private War

• The email from Kittisiri Group’s public relations department arrived at 8:00 AM on Friday.
• Attached was a five-page PDF itinerary for the annual Capella Foundation Gala on Saturday night. My name was listed under Key VIP Attendees, positioned directly beside Phai’s. Below our names were three bullet points outlining expected press interactions: a two-minute red-carpet photo opportunity, a joint entrance through the main ballroom doors, and a mandatory paired seating arrangement at Table 1.
• I read the document twice at my desk, saved a copy to my phone, and went back to writing my business proposal.
