YM778.TV Chapter 106 - Break
Simione was there when Hawk went berserk but she was nowhere near. After the confrontation they had in the bathroom, she went out for a while to get some fresh air and vent out her frustration with Hawk and only after few good minutes did she go back to the theater, ready to face her date whom probably by then was already worried that it took her a very long time to get back.
As she strode in the theater, the dreadful sight of Hawk Monsanto having an intense argument welcomed her and before she could go in between the two men and appease either of them, someone grabbed her away immediately out of everyone\'s sight. Lucy\'s bodyguard whom then the singer instructed to fetch Simione took the girl silently before she became the center of attention.
Lucy had sense that something was brewing up, especially that she received reports just after she stepped out the stage that Hawk Monsanto was there. In panic, the first thing that got into her mind was her friend, Simione. She was afraid that the two would cross paths and some chaos would ensue. Indeed she was right because just after a few minutes, Hawk made a commotion and ended up being violent with Cat\'s date.
"President! Stop! Stop!" Lucas grabbed Hawk away but there was already blood everywhere. Cat\'s date was on the floor, all bloodied that his once handsome features had all been messed up. Hawk\'s anger had gotten its toll on him and he went on uncontrollably that for a moment he had lost his sense.
In just two minutes Lucas had grabbed his boss and the securities came to manage the situation. They all called for an ambulance and brought Cat\'s friend out already unconscious while Hawk was still there trying to squeeze himself out from the persons that had stopped him. The M Conglomerate\'s president was of big build and so it took four people to stop him from charging again with his rival completely.
His once angry expression lingered as if punching the man nearly to his death wasn\'t enough even when his nemesis had been taken away from his sight. He was really pissed and although what he did was bad in every perspective, he just couldn\'t let the man pass away his grip especially when he was making a claim on his mysterious woman. For all that foolish commoner knew, she wasn\'t an ordinary woman he can just have whenever he likes. Even though he himself was having a hard time dealing with her, how can it be easy for such a commoner like him?
Hawk who then wrapped in Lucas arms squeezed himself out, ready to face everyone who dared defy him. He didn\'t know why but for the sake of Cat, he can have as many enemies as he can, especially if their intention was to grab Cat away from his reach.
"What happened?" Lucas confronted as he freed him. He was all to shock when someone informed him that Hawk was in serious shit. Right then his arms were still around him, keeping him from attacking everyone because even when the drawl was over, the expression in Hawk\'s face cannot be trusted. He flushed a non-regretful face as if the attack itself wasn\'t his doing and he was all innocent.
"President please," Lucas begged when he saw that Hawk wasn\'t over it and he was trying his best to brush him off so he could continue going wild and berserk. However this time, men circled on the President of M Conglomerate, all ready to stop him in case he decided to become wild again.
Even with all the taunting stares of the onlookers, Hawk\'s anger did not subsides, not until Lucas informed him of the consequences of his cruelty, "President what are we going to do about this? Feather had seen it all,"
"Feather?" Only at the mention of the heiress name did it all come back to Hawk—the concert, his wedding, his fallen reputation and of course the mishap that he did in everyone\'s glazing stares. Although no one had confronted him outright afraid of what he\'ll destiny might become being an anti-Monsanto, the way Hawk had managed to scare out almost the entire of the city\'s population was far too alarming for his team to handle. Even Lucas himself had seen the fear that rose above everyone\'s spine and how they were obviously cursing Hawk under their breaths for being such a ruthless powerful being.
There at the theater that night, when Hawk\'s head had cleared off, he dragged his eyes toward his fiancee and saw Feather from afar, standing like she was shrinking into the crowd. Seeing what happened under her eyes, she became too afraid to even walk toward Hawk, more so looked at him. She stood from her spot shaking, afraid that any minute, Hawk\'s anger will be directed to her and that she will end up having the same fate with the man Hawk had his casualties on.
The sight of Feather being too afraid of him woke all the senses out of Hawk and when his senses cleared he ended up cursing himself for what he had done. His uncontrolled temper made his mind paralyzed for a moment leading him to do such outrageous violence. He was lost for a moment and he certainly didn\'t want to scare Feather out of it. However, even though he regretted it, the thing went on uncontrollably that neither he nor Feather was ready for it.
"Miss Han," Lucas, who had seen Hawk\'s anger subsided and had become clear-headed, went to pacify Feather\'s fears. She was still shaking when he approached her and even before he could do some pleading to help the girl recover her steady state, she stepped back with a look that tells everyone she was all too terrified to go with them. In the end, Lucas\'s pleading became useless and the Han heiress ended up running away all by herself not wanting to be with the violent Hawk and her retreat sponsored a big slap on Hawk\'s face.
What had he done?
How could he lose it all in front of Feather like that?
How he lost it in front of everyone!
Hawk\'s team had always been promoting the M Conglomerate as a brand new company without any trace of violence and ruthlessness that had been attached to his name for centuries and so what Hawk did was certainly a contradiction toward their branding. One could tell that he had seriously made a huge shit on the way he acted that night and how he ended up almost killing someone for petty reasons.
Indeed, in just a span of twenty fours from Lucy\'s concert, M Conglomerate suffered a serious blowback on Hawk\'s unrestrained behavior and many had been cursing him anonymously online as no one was brave enough to do it outright.
"This is getting out of hand," His PR team had been in a serious situation after that violent scandal broke out and they had to work all their asses out to remedy the situation with all their expertise.
Knowing that the blowback was huge and the fire cannot be put off immediately, they planned to drag on the issue for days until it would just fire off itself. They knew issues like this were good only until people talked about it and so they planned to stop all the talking by just ignoring it completely and have Hawk be out of everyone\'s site for a little bit—enough for them to forget about what happened.
When people talk less about what happened in the concert, they hope to have Hawk participate in good social activities and so people will forget his violent temper and would see him in a different light.
"You mean we have to keep him out of everyone\'s sight?" Someone confirmed. The scandal had not only taken its toll on them, Hawk too was greatly frustrated of himself about this one serious mishap he ended up not doing anything against it and just sucking all of the people\'s blame and pinpointing.
They were right afterall, he was a one hell of a proud arrogant person who deserved no less than everyone\'s hatred and spanking. He had received quite a serious blow back just by displaying his temper, how would people loathe him if they knew he was two-timing between two ladies? For sure, he will receive more criticism than what he has right then.
"Let\'s send him off somewhere to clear his head. President Hawk wasn\'t himself these days, perhaps a little vacation would help," One suggested very much favoring the idea of getting Hawk out of the limelight. These days, he has constantly been in the top news considering his upcoming wedding to Feather Han so a single mishap like what happened last night surely cannot be kept.
Perhaps a little rest from the media and the crowd would help fix things and so they all decided for Hawk to rest and spend time somewhere he could assess his own foolish self.
When Hawk received the suggestion through Lucas, he accepted it all easily. He knew something was wrong with him, especially that before the scandal, he had been having a hard time sleeping and he acknowledged he needed help. He had attended several therapy sessions after the incident and none helped—not even with his sleeping problems so he knew he needed a hard reset.
The predicament that he had with the two women was obviously ruining his confidence and respect in his own self and he admitted he needed to fix that before he can fix anything.
For how was he going to expect other people to forgive his misdeeds when he cannot even forgive his own self . With this, Hawk willingly took the PR team\'s advice and left the capital the very next day to have a break from everything.
