BXBX NOVEL Chapter 40 - Her Show
Lucas went through hell because of the mariposa verde but Verde Jewelries Incorporated experienced the worst. To cater Hawk\'s request, they launched an immediate board meeting to tackle the impending predicament and although they didn\'t want to sell such a piece, they sure don\'t want to go against Hawk Monsanto. Hell knows what would happen if they refused him and surely, they didn\'t want to take a risk.
In the span of an hour, the Verde Jewelries Incorporated decided to give it to him and the only thing they could do was increase its price to a hundred million to compensate for the trouble. They knew pretty well Hawk would pay as although the young billionaire was a bit ruthless at time, everyone in the business industry knew he was reasonable. At the end, the store where Hawk was waiting packed the mariposa verde to him.
"Congratulations President Hawk," The manager told him as he handed the parcel, "You are now the new owner of the mariposa verde. May it bring you luck and joy,"
Hawk did not respond but his expression was already calm and well composed and so Lucas knew he was definitely satisfied with how he ended up having the piece he demanded.
Feather on the other hand started out impatient with how Hawk took like for a jewelry she wasn\'t interested in. However when she heard of its price and value, she too fell in love with it and didn\'t mind waiting for an hour doing nothing in the store.
"Thank you and we are sorry for the trouble," It was Lucas who answered the manager\'s congratulations as Hawk already turned his back to leave with Feather.
"A pleasure to serve you sires," The manager said and every saleslady present gave them one last bow and sigh with relief when the group had left the store.
Feather and Hawk continued with their dinner date despite what happened. Hawk brought her to a high end restaurant this time so Feather was in thorough joy. Thankfully she need not to worry about vomiting and being sent to the hospital. Unlike the last time, their dinner ended smoothly and Hawk drove the Han\'s heiress back to the marble mansion after.
"Thank you for today President Hawk," Feather said once she mounted his car. Hawk opened the door and so she took this time to talk to him as all the servants were busy attending to all the jewelries they brought.
"Anything for you my dear," Hawk replied. "I shall see you next time,"
"Of course," Feather\'s face brightened at the thought of their next date but right then although Hawk was already saying his goodbyes, Feather was still expecting he was going to hand her the mariposa verde. She had been expecting him to give it to her during their dinner but for some reason it seemed like Hawk had forgotten about it.
Feather stood in front of Hawk for a considerable amount of time and since the servants were still busy unloading the things they shopped, Hawk didn\'t mind. But when the last of the shopping bag was taken and Feather remained on the same spot without moving, he thought something was wrong.
"Are you okay?" Hawk placed his hand on her shoulder to support her in case.
"No no, of course not," She answered, still wearing her smiles and her honey-coloured eyes of course still shone with thorough expectation. After all, the mariposa verde was a hundred dollars worth and so she didn\'t mind waiting a bit more to have it.
"Off you go now my dear. It\'s cold in here, you might get colds," Hawk dismissed her lovingly but she refused to leave.
"Don\'t you have something to give to me?" Feather couldn\'t help but asked. She thought Hawk forgot again to give her the surprise gift just like how he had forgotten to give it to her during their dinner. After they left the store, Hawk handed the mariposa verder to Lucas and since the latter was in the front seat, he knew such jewelry was in the car.
"Something?" Hawk\'s brow creased as he wondered what the girl was talking about. After a minute he seemed to have been reminded of something. He moved closer to her then and gave the girl a kiss on the checks. That was what she wanted, right? A goodbye kiss?
Feather totally did not expect such a kiss on the cheeks and immediately a blush pronounced in her face. However because her mind lingered deep on the mariposa verde, she didn\'t get to enjoy such an intimate moment.
"Now off you go," He dismissed her again and this time cued a servant to come and assist Feather inside the mansion. Hawk then went back to his car as his driver started the engine.
"President Hawk!" Feather called for him but the car\'s door had already been shut. His car moved after a second and only then did Feather realize that Hawk did not intend to give her the gift!
"Hey!" Feather called off stomping her feet in dismay. "Where\'s my surprise gift?" She screamed in annoyance but Hawk\'s car was already of considerable distance and they could no longer hear her nagging.
"Ahrrgggg!" Feather couldn\'t help but blow her tantrums free. She even went as far as throwing some of the jewelry shopping bags that the servants were carrying. "I want my surprise gift!"
"Miss Han!" Ami heard the commotion outside and immediately ran when she heard Feather\'s screams. "Miss Han, don\'t throw the jewelry away! They are expensive!"
"Heck I care!" Feather was really mad. The moment he heard how pricy the mariposa verde was, she knew all the things she bought were nothing compared to it. She felt so cheap then especially that among all the things she brought, Hawk didn\'t give much attention to it unlike the effort he took just to get the mariposa verde.
Why didn\'t he give it to her then?
Aside from her, certainly there was no one qualified to accept such a valuable gift! She wondered then for whom that jewelry was with great jealousy and annoyance!
