Polly advises Philip "to answer all (Fiona's) questions and provide her with any information she requires." Polly then writes "I advise that you give her what she needs so that she can be on her way". "To be on one's way" is "to leave". Polly is suggesting that Philip cooperate with Fiona (by being honest) so that she can complete the review quickly.
This statement is false. Polly suggests that Philip remove the champagne and chocolate from his office as it would give Fiona the wrong impression. She also mentions "mood music", which is music meant to create an atmosphere or ambiance (of romance for example).
