Wednesday — January 23
Gael and Giovanni were at the Phantom's Empire that evening. They were so worn out after chasing Morgan around the city the whole day. The old geezer thought he'd savor the moment that the De Lucas were hell-bent on buying him out of the company. Gael was on the brink of losing his patience, and so was Giovanni.
The three of them had brunch at an Indian Gastro Bar called Taj Masala in Lower Manhattan in the morning. It was one of Morgan's favorite places to eat—because it was rated three over four dollar signs in some food blog. Gael thought it was overly expensive for what it was. He'd tasted authentic Indian cuisine cooked by Aunties just a few minutes on foot from his brownstone in Brooklyn—with an unassuming interior and plastic tables and chairs. He loved that more than the overrated expensive Gastro Bar.
