The Grand Mistress

As promised, the next day, Hawk took Feather jewelry shopping. Ami had constantly made it known to Hawk that Feather loved jewelry and so he specifically took her to one of the renowned jewelry stores in the city.

Feather couldn\'t contain her excitement then that she immediately forgot about Hawk\'s disappearance in her concert. Ami, her assistant, was with her as she wanted someone to document and post their date and the jewelry Hawk bought for her in her social media accounts. 

​​

When they entered the shop, many salespeople came and greeted them. They were all instructed to cater to Hawk and Feather that day and so the shop was well prepared for their visit. In fact, they had the shop closed to give the couple the privacy they needed.

Hawk seated on a seat provided for him as the sales person brought to Feather each of the jewelry she had her eyes on. Of course as she was surrounded with so many shining and glittery things, Feather forgot to withhold herself. She and Ami lavished themselves on every jewel in the store and had the saleslady try it on them.

"This miss is from Europe. It is purely made of diamonds," The saleslady showed her a beautiful luxurious necklace flooded with many stones. Its design was filled with too much glitter stuff and it was obvious in one look that it was meant for grand occasions.

"Look at Miss Han," Ami\'s eyes glittered with it, "This one is so grand it suits you so much,"

Just one look and Feather knew it was meant for her. The necklace looked pretty expensive. Imagined if she wore it on, she\'ll definitely shine with so much luxury. 

"Try it on me," She instructed the sales person, which the latter did after carefully taking the necklace from its box. The salesperson had gloves on as it was a standard procedure in their shop to wear one when handling their expensive pieces. The moment the necklace landed in Feather\'s neck, the girl shone with it. She looked at Hawk who was just patiently waiting for them and let him look at it.

"This one is nice," She told how much she was pleased with it. In response, Hawk only smiled at her and nodded in approval. 

"I\'ll take it then," Feather concluded and moved on to the next piece. She had made sure to pick up those things that looked grand in her eyes as it was not everyday she got to go jewelry shopping. Truth was, although she was an heiress, their company, the Han\'s Scintillait had been in serious mess for as long as she could remember. This started when her father Mauro Han took over the presidency. Her grandfather, Don Benedicto had long retired and chose to oversee his other business abroad. 

Mauro Han started as a promising businessman but his gambling addiction always put Han\'s Scintillait in trouble. This was the reason why despite their big ventures and profits, their company barely had the budget to cater Feather\'s likes for jewelries. Most of the jewelry she owned were gifts from fans and sponsors and although she had a credit card, she was not in the position to swipe and pay for big things unlike most of the heiresses in the city. Her credit card that was sponsored by Han\'s Scintillait can only cater average heiress expenses and not grand ones like Hawk can afford.

"This bracelet Miss Han was created by Angka Lu," The salesperson continued showing off their best pieces in the house and all Feather could do was be amazed by everything. She didn\'t choose a particular style or kind but rather choose all the grand things she can see. Basically whatever pieces that looked grandiose, she would have it.

Lucas who was watching the jewelry shopping spree of Feather couldn\'t help but raise a brow at it. Isn\'t Han\'s Scintillait a company that produces jewels? How come their heiress seemed to have no taste in jewelry at all? She just basically grabbed off the things that shone better than the others. Could she not tell the that those she rejected were more exquisite and valuable than those she bought? Besides, what was she to do with all those jewels she chose? Will she go and attend a masquerade ball the entire year? Obviously the jewels she chose were all for grand parties. They were not the type that could be worn on simple occasions and gatherings.

"President Hawk, I\'ll wait outside," Lucas excused himself as watching Feather shopping bored him to death and he felt like he was about to fall asleep soon.

Hawk gave him an eye for some reasons but despite his warning, Lucas left. 

"I badly need coffee," Lucas managed to say before he left the room. He doesn\'t care if Hawk chastises him later for leaving him to the company of the ladies and guards, he just couldn\'t stand the ambiance of the room.

\'How could he stand such a boring company? Ah love is really something I could not understand\' Lucas said to himself, shaking his head as he exited the room. When he left the room, he forgot to close the door, especially that a surprising sight welcomed him in the reception area.

"Hello mister," A lady wearing a black casual dress approached him. Her dress perfectly showed off her long shining legs and shoulder as she was wearing a spaghetti strapped type of mini dress that although obviously looked smaller than her size, still looked dashing on her. Her copper colored hair was wrapped in a messy bun and she smiled at him in a way that took Lucas\' breath away. 

Lucas immediately recognized her and he never once thought that standing in her presence can make man almost lose all control. She simply was gorgeous and her aura would forcedly magnetized all attention to her. Right then, Lucas finally understood why the great Hawk Monsanto, the known woman evasive bachelor could not ever resist her.
