Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 391

Charan came to sit beside Shreya and asked looking confused at her, “What do you mean by not being a competent girlfriend?”

He did not know whether to laugh or cry at that…

What was she even talking about in the first place?

“Other than being good at making money, I don’t seem to be any good at much else, where it actually matters!!” Shreya mumbled in a defeated tone.

Charan couldn’t help look at her dumbfounded. Before her words could even register fully, Shreya continued.

“In spite of all the efforts, it seems my dad still raised a spoilt rich brat after all. I really thought I could do it. I thought as long as I try, I would be able to share things with you at home. But in spite of months of practice, I still break plates every now and then… and I still seem to have the talent to burn water if I put my mind to it! And don’t even start on laundry… I bȧrėly even know the difference between a dishwasher and a washing machine.” Shreya ridiculed herself.

Charan really had the urge to open up her head to see whats going on with her brain…

“When you put it that way, it seems to be true… you really suck at being a girlfriend!!” Charan said rolling his eyes sarcasm dripping at every word. But Shreya was too disturbed to even notice the change in his voice and took his words at face value and became even more depressed.

“I know… I will try to change… I promise.” Shreya mumbled under her breath but she did not have much confidence when she said it.

Charan could take it anymore and had to swat over her forehead before scolding her, “Idiot!!”

“Ouch” Shreya rubbed her forehead in pain and at last, looked up. Her brows frowned from pain and confusion as she stared back at Charan.

Charan did not stop there was he pulled on her cheeks and continued scolding her, “Do you even realize how much crap you are talking right now?? If I needed help doing my chores, I would have gotten myself a maid a long while ago. Not a girlfriend. It is not like I cannot afford one! I chose not to because I like taking care of these things for Akira… and it has nothing to do with you or your lack of domestic skills. It is really amazing how you can still run a company and be so stupid outside of the company!! You got one part right though!! You are really stupid outside of making money…!!”

“Hey… I am not stupid!!!” Shreya exclaimed defending herself.

“Yea…? news to me. Who was the person who just said she was not a competent girlfriend just minutes back?” Charan asked rolling his eyes.

Shreya pouted without replying for a while but then said, “It is just… what is the point if you are going to be doing the same amount of work at home with or without me… what’s the point of me being here? So, I just wanted to share some of these things with you… but…” Shreya did not know how to continue that sentence.

“It is the thought that counts… but more than that… you can still share but it takes time. You can slowly learn… you just tried cooking for the first time… you should have seen the mess I made the first time I cooked!! I had to paint the walls!! Are you going to give up just like that already after just one try? That is not the Shreya I know!” Charan said staring down at her.

“I just want to cook for you on your birthday… I wanted today to be perfect. But then, you had to cook for yourself just like always!!” Shreya answered frowning.

Charan did not answer straight away but instead, he pulled Shreya on top of him sitting her on his ŀȧp straddling him. He reached out to tuck in stray hair behind her ears as he whispered, “Today was perfect as it is… as long as I have you here, it is going to be perfect for me. And the effort you had put into today… that’s the best gift you could have given me!! The result does not matter…” His hands kept rubbing on her back soothing her.

Shreya let out a defeated sigh. Anyways, she cannot do anything about it now… Holding on to it was not going to solve much. So, she decided to let it go. She can always plan other surprises some other day. And she knew Charan was right and she was no quitter. So, she can always just practice. It was not like she had many other options…

She was not unwilling either. It was just, it was weird for her… she never seemed to have ever struggled to learn anything since birth. Everything she had to do, came naturally to her.

Even when she lost her father and the whole shit came crashing down on her, she did not struggle much.

She had to work hard… and she did too. But leading the company came as naturally as breathing for her. She never had to stress or be nervous about it. She never had to think about failing in it… because she knew she would win. She had that confidence in herself when it came to business.

“I will do it!! A few frying pans are not going to knock the Shreya Srivastav… if it got out, I would lose my face. I cannot let that happen!! How hard can it be?” Shreya suddenly said looking very determined and vigorous but there was a childish stubbornness to it that made Charan chuckle helplessly.

He reached out to ruffled her hair as he said, “You know… as long as you know how to make money, you don’t need to learn anything else in this world? The money you make can buy you pretty much everything else!! And they are just chores… you can always hire a maid!!”

“But that will be cheating!! And Shreya Srivastav never cheats!!” Shreya replied stubbornly.
