The Grand Mistress

Chapter 187 - Using Feather

"How about Miss Han, President?" Blue inquired about his recent fiancee whom he thinks had already fallen from Hawk's favor. "How do I deal with her?"

"Is she still outside?" Hawk asked. Lucas told her earlier that Feather was waiting for her and that she had always visited the hospital to care for her.

"Yes. I did not allow her entrance because I don't think you'd want to make her experience your temper," Mr. Blue explained. "Afterall, she had been acting with grace and great concern for you accordingly,"

"Mr. Blue, tell me, would it be very harsh for me to break up with Feather today?" Hawk asked his opinion. Truth was Hawk had never thought of Feather until then even earlier when Lucas mentioned her, he didn't dwell much thought on it. Now that Mr. Blue seemed a bit concerned about the Han's heiress, so he asked for his thoughts.

"I think that to delay a breakup would only cause more injury. However, in this situation,  where we still needed Miss Han's cooperation till the woman you are looking for shows up, there might be a need to delay it. Also President, Feather Han is your childhood friend, I advise you take it slow a bit,"

"You are somehow right," Hawk thought about it. He still needed Feather so that Cat would show up. Also he felt really bad about how things turned out between them but he didn't want to hurt her more so he planned to bid farewell to her as soon as possible. "I'll compensate with Hans by making sure the venture I promised will continue and while waiting for Sisi to come out, I'll spend time with Feather. I'll leave her some good memories before I completely leave her. She had always been good to me afterall,"

Hawk's heart aches for Feather. He knew he still had something big for the Han's heiress but with his obsession with Sisi and how he kept hurting her, he can't make her suffer anymore. He still wanted to fulfill his promise to her but thinking about the Feather now, how she was and how different she was with the fuzzy cat he once loved, he knew he cannot make such marriage work. Better end it before they hit the altar. That perhaps was the best thing he could do for her, for the sake of their old friendship and for the sake of his old love.

"So should I let her come in now?" Mr. Blue asked. 

"Yes you may," He allowed it and soon, just after Mr. Blue left through the door, Feather came in crying.

"President….I'm sorry I should not have acted frightened the last time at the concert hall," Feather wailed beside her bed,  expressing her guilt. "You should have not feel bad and left for the mountains,"

Hawk laughed a bit at how pitiful she looked then reached out for his head and tapped it. Feather wasn't that tall and so he was able to reach for her head without much hassle.  Thinking about his plans to break his relations with her, he wanted to be good to him before he left, especially that he also needed her cooperation, apart from the fact that she took care of him. 

"Don't worry about it. Me going to the mountains has nothing to do with you, don't feel guilty about it,"

"It's not?" His answer upset her. She really did though that he went away because he had gone pretty ashamed at how he acted in front of her. Perhaps he was just lying about it because she could not come up with real good reasons why he went away. "Don't lie over it. It only makes me more guilty,"

"Don't cry anymore," Hawk smiled at her, hiding his guilt. Wasn't he too harsh on her? Shamelessly using her before breaking her heart. "I heard you had another concert coming by, what gift do you want?"

"Oh that?" Feather was reminded of it. "Actually it's another pre-wedding conceirto. I begged the sponsors to let me do another one because the last time….it didn't go well," Feather purposely paused to remind Hawk of what happened the last time. "As per the gift, you had given me too much already,"

"I want to buy you something more," Hawk insisted, knowing that it was only through it he could compensate with her.

"I'll just accept whatever you give, I know it's going to be special, whatever it is," Feather replied but then Ami, who was silently standing behind the door knew very well what the girl wanted.

"How about a black card President Hawk," Ami suggested shamelessly. Feather promised her that if she can make Hawk give her a black card, she'll buy her some luxury bags so she pressed on it right away.

"A black card?" Hawk lost on what she meant.

"President, it's very common with the socialites to talk about black cards among the socialites," Ami explained, trying to appeal to Feather. "It's like a bottomless credit card which the ladies can use to buy anything they want. Whenever there are socialites gathering, they always ask Miss Han if you gave her a black card since she had been your fiancee for a long time. When Miss Han replies that she didn't receive one, the ladies looked at her with contempt,"

"Oh that one," Hawk was reminded of what she meant right away. Truth was, Hawk was not the one who was handling his finances, he had a financial manager for that. Also, he doesn't go shopping as someone shops for him and most of all, he never uses credit cards. Well he has some cards, but none of those were credit cards, he was not really a fan of them as he always wanted to pay accordingly. Unlike all the other businessmen, Hawk started out with nothing and so he had always been so responsible with his spendings and that habit went on with him. 

"I'll get Feather one if that's very important," Hawk promised. If this black card can make her happy, then he would willingly give it to her. He just hopes that when the time comes, she will not hate him that much.
