(continued)
The following day in the boardroom, Bill and Kwame met with Donald, who laid out the next tasks. Each candidate would be in charge of a huge event and oversee all the details to make it a success. Bill would run the Chrysler Trump Golf Tournament at Trump National Golf Club. Kwame would be in charge of the Jessica Simpson concert at Trump Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino. Based on their performances, one of them would become The Apprentice.  Donald had another surprise. He said that now that Bill and Kwame were bosses, they needed some employees. Trump said that he had a group for the bosses to choose from. The boardroom doors opened and in walked six of the recently fired candidates.  Bill picked Amy, Katrina and Nick for his group. Kwame picked Troy, Omarosa and Heidi for his. Then, everyone headed off to the location of their respective events. As bosses, Bill and Kwame were each driven by private limo while their employees followed in more modest vehicles.
 On the road to Atlantic City, Kwame assigned tasks to his employees. Troy was in charge of promotions. Omarosa was in charge of logistics. And Heidi would be in charge of the meet and greet. Kwame said that his management style was to lay out the tasks and let his employees do their jobs. He said that he didn't believe in micromanaging.  At the Taj Mahal, Kwame got some advice from Mark Brown, the CEO of the hotel and casino. Mark said that a successful event is one where the entertainer is taken care of from the minute they arrive at the airport until the minute they leave. That night, as Kwame's group was having dinner, Omarosa got a call from Diane, the Entertainment Coordinator of the Taj Mahal.  Diane told Omarosa to make sure that Jessica Simpson arrives when she's supposed to. Omarosa said she was in the middle of dinner and asked if Diane could take care of this. In an interview, Diane predicted that things would not go smoothly for this concert. Back at the table, Troy asked Omarosa what the call was about, but Omarosa wouldn't say.
 At Trump National Golf Club, Bill assigned tasks. Nick would work with Chrysler to place cars and signs. Katrina would handle preparing and distributing gift baskets to tournament players. And Amy would be a liaison with Trump.
