Chapter 81 - It's salty

Exam days will officially start tomorrow, and a week have already passed since Ayesha and Knight have seen each other privately. Over the weekend, Ayesha was so busy studying the lessons that she missed with Aria as her tutor. They also took the chance to review the lessons that were recently taught to them. Knight on the other hand was busy checking and signing the important documents, the other day,Louisse just came barging into his house, with him are pile of important documents that needed his signature. Knight could still hear his secretary's whɨnė as soon as Louisse saw him.

"Boss why are you neglecting your duties? I'm such a poor secretary having an irresponsible boss. I don't have time to date now because of you." Louisse tossed the documents on his boss face. Knight's brows twitched because of what Louisse did.

"You-"' Knight wasn't able able to talk because Louisse cut him off.

"Boss! You need to comeback now. I cannot act as your substitute for a long time. You know that I also need to have time to relax and date." Louisse said while thinking of someone he wants to see.

"I am not you, who already have a fiance. I need to work hard to catch my girl before someone else would claim her." he seriously uttered.

"Pack your things and go manage one of my company overseas. Don't comeback until you solve the problem there." Knight immediately pushed his secretary out, giving him no chance to refute. Louissealways had this attitude where he become childish when Knight won't focus on his office works. They have been together for so many years and he still can't believe that Louisse is hiding that attitude of his. He also knew that Louisse have a severe trauma that cause him to be unable to get near to any woman. Did his illness got cured?

Knight just pinched his nose bridge when he remembered what happened. It was already midnight and he is almost done with his work. He took a glance at his phone and is tempted to give Ayesha a call. God knows how much he wanted to hear her voice.

"No! You must restrain yourself on calling her. She's busy studying for her exams. And you on the other have things to deal in you company. You have only a week left before your marriage. You can still endure it." Knight reminded himself as he chooses to continue finishing his work.

That night, Ayesha was also busy reviewing the last subject she had. Aria on the other hand is already asleep and loudly snoring.

Every 5 minutes, Ayesha would check her phone. Hoping that Knight would send her a good luck message. She misses him so much.

"Maybe he is busy right now." Ayesha thought, she continued reviewing but ended up closing her notes because she is distracted by Aria's loud snore.

Aria who was an early bird, is standing at the side of Ayesha's bed. Scratching her head while looking at her best friend, who sleeps like a rock.

''Yesha! Wake up! We need to go to school early so that we'll have time to review.'' Aria said as she tried waking Ayesha up. This is her third time trying but she just sleeps like a rock.

Aria climbed up into Ayesha's bed, she decided to kick her since shouting at her is no use.

''Yesha! Yesha! Wake up!'' She kicked her buŧŧ, Ayesha just glared at her.

''Five minutes'' she said and went back to sleep. Aria's jaw dropped because of what Ayesha did. What on earth.

''Wake up!'' she started jumping on the bed when her second plan failed.

''We need to review!'' Aria uttered again as she jumps higher. ''Oh! This is so much fun.''

"Please stop that Aria, you are making me feel dizzy.'' Ayesha ġrȯȧnėd as she hit Aria's fit using a pillow.

''I will not stop until you get up and separate yourself from your bed.'' Aria is still jumping.

''Okay! Okay! I will get up now so please stop that!'' Ayesha said in a groggy voice. Aria stopped when Ayesha stood up. She also climbed down from the bed and fixed her dishevelled uniform.

Ayesha looked at her best friend who is now dressed in her uniform. She then glanced at the clock place on top of the small table near her bed. Ayesha's jaw drops when she saw the time.

''4:30 A.M'' She then looked at Aria who was also staring at her innocently.

''FOR PETE'S SAKE ARIA! You woke me up! Didn't you see the clock? It's says 4:30 A.M? It's still my bedtime!'' Ayesha shouted but enough to be heard inside the room.

''Oh! I was looking at my wristwatch! I forgot! I did set this in advance'' Aria innocently answered.

Ayesha just sighed, ''I'm going back to sleep.'' she was about to climbed back to her bed when Aria grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the bathroom.

''No! You will take a bath now. We should go to the school early'' Aria insisted as she pushed Ayesha inside the bathroom.

''The F! Who takes a bath so early in the morning! I haven't had enough sleep today!'' Ayesha sighed as she just took a hot shower.

While Ayesha is taking a bath, Aria went to the kitchen and saw a servant preparing some ingredients. Aria went inside without making any noise.

''Miss Aria!'' The servant screamed in horror when she saw the young miss standing next to her.

''Oh! I'm so sorry, I startled you!'' Aria apologizes.

''It's okay young Miss! But why are you awake so early?'' the servant asked curiously.

'Oh! Ayesha and I are going to school early!'' Aria answered.

''Can I use the kitchen?'' She asked the servant.

''Yes, you may, Miss Aria. What ingredients do you need? I will prepare them for you.'' The servant asked politely.

''I need three eggs and hotdogs. Could you please help me cook some rice?'' Aria have never tried cooking rice, well she never really tried cooking. She would just watch her mother cook whenever day have family dinner.

The servant immediately gave Aria the ingredients she needed and went to cook some rice.

Aria is confident that she could fry some eggs and hotdogs, since this are the only easy dishes she could think of doing.

After Aria was done cooking when Ayesha came in.

''Perfect timing! I just finished cooking. Let's eat!'' Aria said as she placed the dishes she cooked on the table.

''Is this edible?!'' Ayesha asked as she looked at the egg and the slightly burnt hotdog.

''It is edible! Try it, even though it's my first-time cooking. I'm pretty sure it turned out tasty.'' Aria said with confidence.

Ayesha eyed Aria, not trusting her words but still she tried eating an egg. ''It's salty!'' she commented as she spits the egg,

Aria also tried tasting her masterpiece but just like what Ayesha did, she also spit it out.

''It is really salty!'' Aria said, her voice is full of disappointment.

''Even though its salty, this is still edible. Just put many rice in it.'' Ayesha said. She will still eat what Aria cooks.

''I'm fit to be a professional eater not a cook.'' Aria joked and tried to eat the eggs that she cooked.
