Creation of more than one record is a thermodynamically irreversible process. Entropy has increased, there is no way to reverse it short of cancelling the reservation, recreating and repricing it. Have your company book your wife along with you. Re-imburse your company's travel agent. If your company's travel agent needs to have a travel authorisation to book any travel, then it might not be possible. The other problem is your company's TA might not find as a cheap a fare for your wife as you would. On one of my trips to London, my company's travel agent booked me in a combination of B and C (AMS-LHR) for about $2400 and I booked my wife and two children on my own in Q for about $400 per person.
