Dinner Invitation (1)
The Manor
It was already two in the morning when Gael and Giovanni left the private meeting room on the third floor of the club. They spent the entire day and night with the caporegimes in a meeting. They rarely gather this long, but everything that's going on with them caused some distress. They had to revise a few systems and order the capos some assignments for their businesses.
Alessandro was also present during half of the meeting before he went out to visit the Yakuza leader who was apparently sick. The Japanese crime family in New York was a good friend to the De Lucas even before Alessandro became the Don. Gael and Giovanni offered to accompany him, but he declined, saying that they had to properly plan out the meeting with the Russians on Friday to avoid a lapse in security. Two crime family leaders in public would surely attract eyes and ears.
