Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 388

“What are you doing?” Charan asked looking bewildered. He just came from the office. He was early today since the last appointment got canceled and when he entered his house, he found Shreya in the kitchen trying to cook.

Here, ‘trying’ is the keyword. He was shocked out of his mind… after all, Shreya was supposed to be working right about now and not be making a mess out of his kitchen. Shreya said she was going to be very busy this week and not know when she was going to be able to be home and that was the whole reason why Shreya convinced Akira to stay with his parent’s place today. So, he couldn’t figure out what she was doing here in the first place… he dropped by to get some files and was going to head over to his parent’s place too.  But most of all, Shreya does not cook… period.

But he couldn’t help the amused grin spread on his face at her state. When he came in, he was met with Shreya who was struggling to get the shove off but fail. Her face was covered with black smoke. She looked comical.

She looked cute. But his smile died when she winced. He saw her brows frown as she accidentally burnt her fingers but other than that she did not even bother to stop what she was doing as she concentrated on the pan. But the pan was a whole new level of disaster in itself.

Vegetables were scattered in them at all sizes and at different stages of cooked state. Some were brown and some were raw… and some others were mushed up. Shreya was moving them around looking confused. She was so focused that she did not even realize Charan had already come and was asking her something.

When she moved around her spatula, oil splattered and burnt her skin. Shreya once again frowning slightly but otherwise did not bother with it.

Charan couldn’t take it anymore and moved into the kitchen keeping his bag in the entrance.

“Shreya?? What are you doing?” He asked straight up pulling her away from the stove. He pulled her by her arms and made her stand a safe distance away from the stove.

“SHIT!! YOU SCARED ME!” Shreya exclaimed keeping her free hand over her ċhėst. Normally, she has a better sense of her surrounding but today since cooking was not exactly her strongest trait, she had to give her 100% concentration. So, she did not realize Charan coming in.

Charan did not bother to answer her but instead took her hand on his to check on them.

By then, Shreya had recovered from her shock and gave him a bright smile as she greeted him, “HI! Welcome back home…”

In addition to burning her hands and elbows, she actually has a few cuts here and there on her fingers. The biggest cut was at the tip of her thumb that she had never bothered to tend to.

Charan’s lips pursed in anger when he saw that… He did not respond to her greeting as he took the spatula from her hands and kept them back on the pan and switched off the shove. Anyways, the things in the pan were long gone from being edible.

“Hey, what are you doing? I am not done yet!!” Shreya protested but that never entered Charan’s ears as he lifted her up like a kid and placed her on the kitchen island. He would have taken her out but the kitchen was a mess and he could knock on stuff if he did not mind his steps carefully and he wasn’t sure he can do that while carrying Shreya.

So, he let her sit on the island where it was actually empty… Island was probably where Shreya had initially kept all her groceries which were used up leaving the place empty.

“You sit there and don’t move!!” Charan said sternly and walked out of the kitchen.

Shreya pouted her lips and hung her head down looking depressed.

Shreya could not figure out how she could follow the steps to such precision and can still fail so miserably.

When she was still contemplating whether to continue as it is or to start over from scratch all over, after all, she had bought twice the quantity of everything as she knew her own skill in kitchen, Charan came back with the first aid kit.

“No… I am fine. These are not that serious. These are just tiny cuts and burns. It will go away in a few days on itself!” Shreya protested when Charan took her hand on his.

“Shut up…” Charan said pissed off without giving her a chance to continue as he started patching her injuries up.

Shreya pouted aggrieved but she did not dare say anything more about her injuries.

“Sorry, I just wanted to cook something nice for you, for once and I did practice at home with Ramani. And followed everything perfectly except for the cutting of vegetables, of course. Back home, Ramani had something that helped me cut the veggies in perfect sizes… since I did not have it here, I had to improvise… I thought I could make it but still, I seemed to have royally screwed it up somehow.” Shreya confessed looking defeated.

“You don’t put the bandage just yet… it will be useless if it gets wet and I have to clean the mess I made,” Shreya mumbled under her breath watching plaster bandage around her fingers.

“You are not doing anything here. You are going to just shut up and sit here while I clean up all the mess and make us dinner!! End of discussion!” Charan said sternly.

Shreya looked like an aggrieved puppy. She kept her head hung down as she protested very weakly, “It is not fair. I made the mess… I should be the one to clean it up…”

Charan did not bother looking up at her as he said, “Well, you should have thought about it before you decided to hurt yourself and make a mess in the process…”

Charan does not really mind the mess but he was more worried about Shreya being injured and his anger stems from the fact that Shreya was very clumsy when she was in the kitchen. If something happened, he couldn’t even imagine.. With her track record, the damage could have been worse if he was not home early by accident.
