Clowning Around in the Workplace

Co-workers Amber and Emily-- part of an office group that put  together a surprise birthday party for their boss whom everyone loves ;)  There was a set budget, they'd all  agreed to and chipped in,  but Emily deviated from the plan and hired her brother as 'surprise' entertainment. Brother is a clown/mime ( clime )  and SHE  paid HIM  her portion of the party pot and says she should now not be responsible for her portion of the overall party budget that she'd originally agreed to.  Amber (and the others) say no- she should still be paying her fair share of the overall party expenses because she went rogue by pulling this entire stunt with her clime brother.
