Aaric headed towards the staircase and had just taken one step he suddenly recalled that he had not seen any servant. He turned back and asked her.
"Where are the servants?"
"Ohh… I actually asked them to leave early. Should I ask them to…?"
"No, of course not. You are the lady of the house. You can do what you want to do. I will go fresh up." Before she could complete her sentence, Aaric interrupted her. He understood what she was trying to say. He did not wanted her to feel uncomfortable even for a small thing so he quickly stopped her mind from thinking widly and tried to make her feel at ease.
"Okay… Then I will go and cook something for you." Sasha's words astonished Aaric. He stared at her as amusement riled inside his mind. He smirked and walked towards the sofa. He placed his both hands on the backseat and asked her.
"You are going to cook?"
"Of Course I'm gonna cook." Sasha's firm answer made him let out a small chuckle. He bit his lips as he recalled what she did in the kitchen while trying to make pancakes for breakfast.
"Well then let me treat you with a meal today and you can cook tomorrow. What do you say?"
"Wha… you can cook?" Sasha's was dumbfounded when she heard him. An all mighty CEO knew how to cook? But why does he need to learn cooking? He had so many servants who could cook for him. She had so many questions to ask but unfortunately he could not answer those questions. He will not tell her that he learned cooking just for his wifey to have luscious meals to enjoy daily.
"Yes. Can I have the honor to treat you to a meal then?" He extended his right hand gentlemanly and asked her.
Sasha was staring at his extended hand in bewilderment. She wanted to place hers on his straight away but could not gather up that courage. When Aaric did not receive her hand, he was a bit disappointed but deep down he knew the reason behind her reluctance. He was just about to pull his hand back when she placed hers on top of his hand.
He lifted her eyes and looked at her with surprise. Sasha already noticed his gloomy face and could not bear to make him feel hurt. She smiled sweetly at him and said.
"Pleasure is all mine!"
Her sweet smile and her sweet voice made him astounded. When she tapped his hands after a few minutes when she did not notice any reaction from him, then only he came back to his senses.
"Come!"
He pulled her up gently and headed towards the kitchen while holding her hands tightly afraid that he might be dreaming. He asked her to sit on the armchair outside in the kitchen garden while he strode towards the refrigerator. He unbuttoned and rolled up his full sleeves, fully exposing his firm muscles.
He picked out a few ingredients and headed towards the sink.
Quickly, there were sounds of water sloshing in the kitchen. Sasha was quietly sitting outside and from there she was engulfing the most beautiful view for her in this life. In the spacious and stylish well-equipped kitchen, a tall man was focused on washing the ingredients in front of the sink with his back towards her. And quickly started up the rice cooker on the stoves.
'Did he had somebody in his life for whom he learned cooking?'
Sasha never would have thought that maybe she was the only person for whom he was ready to change himself from a lazy bed lying boy to an active and healthy man.
However, Aaric, who was quietly washing the ingredients, suddenly felt as if she was watching him from behind. He instantly turned his head to the back and saw that Sasha was sitting there, watching him silently.
He paused for a moment. Not saying anything, he gave her a warm smile before he averted his gaze in front and continued whatever he was doing.
He was skillfully stirring the food in the pan. His handsome and quiet face looked a little surreal underneath the dazzling lights. He transferred the fried eggs with tomatoes from the other pan to a plate.
The smell of fried tomatoes entered her nostrils. Without caring about elegance, she strode towards the kitchen slab, she pinched a piece of the omelet with her fingers and chomped it down.
'He has already seen me at my worst. Will he care about elegance and all that stuff?'
While Sasha was having other thoughts as she did not think before running and taking a bite, Aaric was looking at her tenderly with just brooding over one thing.
'My foodie!'
