The Grand Mistress

A week later

Lucas was seriously sweating in front of Hawk. Even when he just woke up, a little bit weak and  was still attached to an IV drip—such a thing didn't stop him from being the dreadful beast everyone feared him to be.

"What do you mean you can't find her?" Hawk's was infuriated. The moment he woke up, he asked Lucas where Simione was and the latter incompetently told him he couldn't locate the girl.

"I tried someone to follow her but someone interved on the way, she basically got lost from our men's sight," Lucas shamefully replied. Truth was he never expected Hawk to wake up looking for the girl so he did not take her disappearance as something big. He was ultimately focused on Hawk's health for the few days he even forgot about her existence. Besides, she isn't Hawk's fiancee. He could not expect him to care for her right? 

How wrong he was on that because the moment Hawk opened his eyes, Sisi was the name that escaped his mouth.

"Why did you even let her go in the first place?" Hawk growled in anger, making his personal assistant flinch.. "Lucas how could you be this incompetent?"

"But President I sent her away because Miss Han came by and of course you can't expect me to keep her," Lucas reasoned but when he saw the amount of anger that went Hawk, he regretted his last statement. "She is not your woman anyway,"

"I think I had been too lenient with you, you keep crossing the line already," Hawk said right through his face that made Lucas shrink in fear. The President had always been good to him because they grew up together and because of that, Lucas had been too comfortable around him; he forgot that when it comes to work, Hawk doesn't take bets on outside relationships rather than an employer-employee one. 

"I'm sorry President, I'll look into the matter right away," Lucas pleaded for his position on him. Seeing Hawk's fury he knew he couldn't escape his wrath this time.

"This is your last chance Lucas, if you won't get this right. I'll send you to our mining site in Africa so you could think about your incompetence," Hawk scoffed, his harsh tone went so unfamiliar to Lucas as he had never seen such contempt before. Did he really mess up that bad this time?

"Go away. Don't appear in my presence  to me until you'll learn everything about her," Hawk instructed and sent him off. Lucas sighed in relief when he exited his room. God! Hawk Monsanto went mad and more devilish when he woke up. What exactly happened in the mountains? And why is that woman so hard to catch? He seriously did send someone to tail on her but someone intervened and they lost her. Was someone protecting her? 

Shit! This was harder than he thought.

When Lucas turned to the hallways to leave, he caught sight of a familiar man with a dangerous aura. 

"Mr. Blue," Lucas whispered but it seemed that the man  heard him and he dragged his eyes onto him after a moment. 

"Did he send you off?" Asked the man. Mr. Blue wasn't his real name but that was what everyone called him. He was one of the oldest trusted subordinates of Hawk but as per Lucas knowledge goes, he was sent off abroad to handle some matters.

"He woke up mad,"

"He's always mad. He had just been lenient with you all this time," Blue told him as he cast him a suspecting look. "Told you to be careful. Even when he treats you as his brother, you should separate work from personal business,"

"He's gone crazy over a woman," Lucas splattered on.

"See that? You telling me about the President's confidential circumstances is totally not a good sign," Blue clicked his tongue at Lucas' childishness. "You need to eat more, kid. I bet he gave you a job and sent you away, that job is your last chance to redeem yourself. If you can't complete that then he'll sent you abroad and just take you as a brother, no more hiring you as an assistant,"

"I know," Lucas replied and hastily went away.

Mr. Blue walked toward Hawk's room and the moment he opened the door, the not in a good mood Hawk Monsanto welcomed him with an errand. "Find me the woman,"

"I will if that's what you want," Mr. Blue obediently replied. "But do we really need to find her? I had this impression you can make her come out from where she was hiding. Don't you think that's more convenient to us?"

"Mr. Blue can read my mind," Hawk smirked at it. Truth was as his subordinate told him, he had indeed some plans on how to make Sisi come to her, he was just so mad he wanted to keep his slacking of his assistants occupied on things. 

"Move my wedding to Feather at an earlier date. I'll come to every fittings and meet ups with the wedding planner. In all these events, make a big publicity on it. Make sure all the whole country know about it,"

"Yes President," Mr. Blue already anticipated this plan. It seemed to him that the President was really so desperate to make this woman come out. He was even planning on using his association with Miss Han for it.

"Let's see if she won't come back to me when she hears it all," Hawk sneered, fuming with rage. "Lets see if the Cat won't come out when she hears all the mouse partying at her absence,"

How could you leave me Sisi while I'm still injured? Is that man really more important than my life? How come you leave me behind fighting for my life?

You can't do this to me. 

I'll make you come back no matter what.

You can't escape me.

I'll see to it that you know your place is by my side.
