The Grand Mistress

Chapter 46 - Her Consent



There was silence for a moment. Everyone was very surprised. Did Hawk Monsanto just bid for a girl?

Every businessman present knew of his reputation as a woman evasive bachelor and also of his recent engagement with ballerina Feather Han. Because of this, they had reservations into believing the rumours going around that he had taken some like on another woman that isn't his fiancee. Was the rumors after all true?

​​

As much as they couldn't believe it, they had heard him all loud and clear. He wanted the girl and for twenty million worth! What the F? Is he out of his mind? They all ended the bid at ten million because as much as they all wanted the girl, as good businessmen, they all thought ten million was already a ridiculous price for someone's company. However, Hawk Monsanto set the price ridiculously higher than it ever was!

Surprised with the sudden turn of events, they all could do nothing but look at each other. Even Walter Wong was surprised that his previous composed facade fell as he was trying to decipher what just took place.

Was Hawk Monsanto serious?

Didn't the media portray Hawk and Feather as a perfect couple and that their soon marriage ceremony involved nothing but all real feelings? Why is it that right then it seemed that the things they knew about Hawk Mosanto's relationship with Feather were all lies? 

Are they really going to marry because of love or their marriage, like most of the marriages of the businessmen in the city, were just another strategic arrangement for business purposes only? And what did M Conglomerate want with Han's Scintillait when all of them knew that company was on the verge of bankruptcy?

No one knew the answers then and no one could dare ask Hawk why. So, they all just raised a brow at it and sigh badly.

"Did you say twenty million President Hawk? Right?" Lucy herself couldn't believe it. She was transfixed for a moment not able to move but when it all dawned on her, her insides twisted with so much joy. 

They surely hit the jackpot tonight!

Proud and thrilled, she turned to Simione and flushed a comical victorious face. Since Simione was at her back, nobody saw the expression she gave her.

"I want her for twenty million," He repeated again as if drawing a line in his territory. His voice was demanding and impatient.

"Well then….she's yours!" Lucy announced and grabbed Simione immediately. She dragged her to Hawk Monsanto without much effort but with haste, as she was afraid someone might dare to outbid hawk. The money he spent on her little game was already too outrageous for her conscience and  she would never want any additional amount from that. God! Hawk Monsanto was one hell of an unpredictable man!

But Goodness! She almost thought he couldn't be moved and yet he ended up biting the bait!

As soon as Lucy got Simione's feet beside Hawk Monsanto, the latter took off his suit and wrapped it immediately to the girl's body. He don't want anyone to feast on Simione's body any longer and so he made sure she's all covered. 

"Well Hawk, how about you sit with the girl—"

"I'm leaving," Hawk announced and headed straight to the door with Simione in his arms. 

"President Hawk," Lucy went after them as she wanted to make sure Simione was okay. The President of M Conglomerate seemed to be mad about something and she certainly didn't want Simione to leave with someone of such a mood. 

"What? I'll have the money transferred in your account," Hawk told the singer right away as he thought it was the money she was after, "From now on Lucilla, do not ever bring this girl again to dance in front of men or you'll say goodbye to the entertainment industry" He demanded with a threat and only then did Lucy understood his anger. He was mad because she had let Simione dance under the view of all the men in the room. His threat of course struck right through her heart but not with fear but with total fascination! 

'O my God Hawk Monsanto, you had fallen to my kitten far too fast without knowing she would be your doom1' Lucilla thought as she chuckled inward. 

She dared not to laugh in front of him and allowed the man and Simione to leave the room without any more inconvenience.

Hawk held Simione's hand as if everything depended on it. His face was mad as hell that Simione thought it would not be wise to talk to him then, so she quietly followed him anywhere he would lead her. 

First they went through the hallway, then to a VIP elevator that leads right down  to the parking lot. There, a car was already waiting for them. Simione didn't remember Hawk calling anyone to welcome them and so she wondered how his personal employees knew they were heading to the parking lot. However, that was the least of her concern at the moment, especially that Hawk Monsanto's mood was not very pleasant at the moment.

"Hop in," Hawk opened the door for her.

"Where are you taking me?" She asked, thinking whether it was wise to defy him at this crucial time provided his anger had not abased yet.

"I brought you for twenty million," Hawk started, eyes dug deep on her honey-colored ones. "I can bring you wherever I want,"

"You only brought my company, not my consent," Simione snapped back. "And I won't give my consent so long as your anger lingers. I don't want to spend the entire night worrying about my safety,"

Her words knocked off something on Hawk that he immediately regretted being mad at her presence. Did his anger scare the hell out of her?

"Out of all the people in that room, I'm the last person who would hurt you," His expression softened this time. Deep down he was cursing himself for being such a reckless fool. He wasn't exactly angry with her, God knows why she took the job of entertaining men but he was mad with the situation. If she needed money that bad, why didn't she ask him for it? 

"Alright then," Seeing that his expression changed, Simione finally decided to go with him. That was her plan after all. 

Hawk carefully assisted her as she stepped into the backseat and after her, Hawk went inside the car too. He sat next to the woman he just brought for twenty million and yet he could do nothing but just be in awe of her.

"Hmmm, aren't we going somewhere? The car isn't moving," Simione called his attention when she saw that he did nothing for a few minutes but just stared at her. Was he so distracted that he forgot to instruct the driver to turn the engine on?

"Ahmm," Hawk snapped back to reality and awkwardly coughed a little. What was happening with him? The girl's presence got him too bad that he couldn't think of anything but make sure she's okay in every way possible. 

"Are we not going to leave yet?" Simione asked again, curious.

"I'm waiting for something," Hawk replied and even before he could explain further, there was a knock on the window on his side. 

"Here it is President Hawk," A lady guard handed Hawk a bag of something and he immediately took it without much question. Not even a thank you was said.

"Here," He then brought the bag in front of her eyes, "Clothes,"

"Oh!" Only then Simione realized that she was still wearing Hawk's suit and that under it she had nothing but her sexy feline outfit. How foolish of her to ask him to leave already where in fact she herself wasn't on proper clothes yet. With an awkward smile she thanked the man. She then took the bag from him and started pulling off Hawk's suit from her body.

"Ahm," Hawk couldn't help but clear his dry throat again and again upon the sight of her wearing such a daring dress. For God sake, why was this woman so alluring? He can't just take his eyes off her most of the time. 

"You like what you see?" Simione's lips twisted at Hawk's reaction. He was clearly tempted to watch her undress but with the last of his dignity, Hawk turned sideways to give her privacy. He too pulled up the partition between the driver's seat and backseat to make sure no eyes was prying on her.

Simione chuckled at Hawk's response. Was he trying to avoid her? He just bought her for twenty million and yet he wouldn't even dare look at her. What is he? A virgin? Why was he acting like it was the first time he was seeing a woman go naked? Or probably was the rumours about him being gay true?

Seeing how Hawk Monsanto was trying his best to be a gentleman, Simione was challenged to unwrap the other side of him.  Without warning, she moved and sat on Hawk's lap with that sexy outfit of hers as she wrapped her two hands around his neck. Their eyes met.  Surprised, Hawk could only do nothing but support her back and meet her eyes.

"You'd like to know what your twenty millions is worth?" Simione asked in front of his face. The last time around, Lucy didn't give her much of a credit for the kiss she gave him and so she wanted something else this time. She had to go second base, especially that Hawk and Feather's relationship seemed to be blooming good. She certainly couldn't make that happen!

Hawk could feel all of her. Her warmth, her heart beating and his own greedy flesh that was getting more hungry as each moment passed. She looked so hot in such a feline outfit but then as his urges fired up, he wanted to see her face that she was hiding behind her black mask and and so, as her face was already in front of him, he pulled off her mask the face of the woman he had dreamed every single moment appeared  just inches away from his, with ripe lips ready to be kissed.
