She Is Not Her

CHAPTER 19

A/N

Hey guys,

Hope you still remember me ;P

Yes yes, I know I am veeerrrryyyyyy late but seriously I was veeeerrrrrryyyyyy veeeeerrrrryyyyy busy. I thought I would get some time from my college and studies but unfortunately, I can't do writing and studying at the same time. My college hours are insanely long. I start from home at 7 am and return back around  6-6.30 pm (plus I have to do homework after that). 

I have a vacation of 10 days now, so I decided to write again. I don't know whether I will be able to update daily or not but I will try.

So from now the events in this book will move really fast as I plan to finish this book as soon as possible. 

Sorry again to make you people wait.

PS- Ignore the mistakes. I wrote this chapter really fast.

ADRIA'S POV:

"Noo... No.. No Adria dear you will make the soup salty if you put this much of salt in it", Charlie explained and I huffed for the nth time. This is the most difficult task. Even If you know everything about cooking but can't put the correct amount of salt in it, it would ruin all your efforts.

"I don't think I can do this", I sighed but Charlie being herself didn't allow me to back out she just patted my back.

"Don't be sad dear. Practice will make you perfect", She smiled and we again started concentrating on my cooking classes.

So if you guys are wondering what exactly is going on, then let me tell you, it's been two weeks Charlie and Damon are living at their son's place and Charlie was too excited to teach me few of her recipes.

Five days back when I was having breakfast with the Hawk family Charlie told me how excited she is about spending some time with me. And according to her, two women can know each other the best when they work together in the kitchen.

I was too afraid of enlightening her with the fact that I can't even boil eggs properly let alone prepare all the fancy dishes she wanted to try with me. So I let her think what she was happy with.

But the secret was out soon when she asked me to chop an onion and laughed loudly after watching me, struggling with it. The knife was sharp yet I couldn't cut the onion as I was trying to cut it using the blunt end.

I almost cried while telling her that I am the last person who should be allowed in her lavish kitchen but she just hugged me and told me she will be my teacher.

So after five days, I can finally break eggs (without dropping broken shells in the bowl), make an omelette, chop vegetables, and now I know I am learning how to prepare Austin's favourite 'Creamy Mushroom soup'. It's simple but tasty and Charlie is an expert making it. I can understand why Austin likes it so much.

"You know, other than our maids and few women I met while attending business parties with Damon  you are the first woman I am interacting with after my marriage?", Charlie said while stirring the soup. I looked at her, shocked.

"What? Why?", She gave me a sad smile before turning the gas off.

"Damon has a dark past. Only he knows about his family and he never talks about them. Many people tried to know where this man came from and became so rich all of a sudden but never succeeded. Even I don't know about it and I don't dare to ask", She gulped after saying that. I could sense her body becoming tensed as she said this.
