Although the attendance at the Genovese Board meeting was sparse, the meeting went quite well. David Dewher, Ana Demetrius, Lauren Bianchi, Tammi Hanlin and Ben Bravio were all there.
Mia let me know that Ben's assistant and body guard was down in the bar and I gave her permission to leave with Luigi later.
I announced the fact that Lauren, Tammi and Ben were now officially board members and would be paid the same $100,000 a year as the politicians, Angela Black of Citibank and Colin Martino of the Teamsters get.
We made over five million dollars in profits in February, a record for that month.
Ben gave a detailed report on the various construction projects and every thing was in excellent shape except that damn 50 million dollar Staten Island City Hall job which is now three weeks behind schedule do to the wild cat strike orchestrated by that pain in the ass Teamster leader, Walter DeGrario.
I'm sure Colin didn't attend the board meeting because he hadn't fixed that damn problem as promised. I called Colin from the limo on the way home with Ana Demetrius and she moved away from beside me when I started bitterly pressing Colin. He said DeGrario is being a pain in the ass, hoping to garner support to replace Colin as president of the Teamsters. I asked Colin for an address for this DeGrario and wrote it down. It's a nice two story, three bedroom home at 400 Arden Ave in Arden Heights on Staten Island.
As soon as we arrived at my Upper East Side brownstone, I asked Ana to get comfortable in my bedroom while I took care of some business. I called Luigi, who was no doubt busy banging Mia, and left him a message saying I needed to speak with him post haste. I have a guy we need to feed to the fish.
I then called Lauren who wasn't home yet and asked her to call me. I want to have Lauren invite this Walter DeGrario out on the Princess, the ocean going yacht I often rent to entertain special guests. Colin said Walt's one weakness is sexy redheads and that Vanessa might just be the ticket. I want Lauren to set it up, two couples on the yacht for an evening of fun
Luigi and Mia can be the other couple and Luigi can make sure that DeGrario drown in a terrible accident. Give him a redhead, ply him with booze, drown him in a bucket of sea water, and drop his dead ass over the side. That will take care of that problem.
