—Isn’t this the woman who had to pay for her own dinner including an expensive bottle of wine?—

Not exactly. We only know that Cain did not pay for it. We don’t know who did. But considering the event, it is naturally assumed that some company’s expense account covered it. It’s how it works.

No. This was the woman who was the GUEST CLIENT and had a HOST SPEAKER whom she had dinner with, and then (as normally done) was expected to pay the liquor tab with the company EXPENSE ACCOUNT.
