Chapter 261 Casualties (1/2)

The next day.

Adam and Caden were eating breakfast in the dining room.

”Did you have a company in your room, last night bro?” Caden asked.

”Yes. Jessy and I were having a date in the city last night then she sleeps in my room and went home in the wee hours of the morning,” Adam replied.

”Ah, okay,” Caden said.

”Yum, you're pancake today taste better than last week, bro!” Adam commented. ”Why is that?” he asked.

Caden smiled. ”Well, I just happened to discover a new way to add flavor to the pancake to make it more creamy and flavorful, but it's a secret bro, sorry I can't reveal to you my secret ingredients,” he grinned from ear to ear.

”Oh, really—? I guess I know where you got your new pancake recipe bro,” Adam scanned at his mobile phone.

”Where?”

”Here in YouTube videos, 'coz I see you browsing on the video recipes the other day,” Adam chuckled.

Caden scratches his head. ”Ah, I'm busted bro. You are right, I can learn so many food recipes on YouTube. I'm planning to study Culinary Arts since I love eating and I crave foods a lot, it would be good to learn how to cook during our break time when you have no engagement or photoshoot to honor. I want to be a Chef!” he said enthusiastically.

”Well...go ahead... bro. I will support you all the way,” Adam smiled and patted his friend's shoulder. ”For now, you can practice cooking in our kitchen one recipe at a time. Just master one recipe first then progress onto another recipe to broaden your knowledge in preparing and cooking different dishes...some people can cook delicious dishes without even attaining culinary course just like Nana Aida... she has no formal schooling in cooking but the foods she cooked every day are praiseworthy. People can excel in what they do because they have great love and passion for what they are doing,” he explained.

Caden awarded Adam a thumbs-up sign. ”Wow, thank you for boosting my confidence bro, starting tomorrow I will cook you my first masterpiece...” he bragged.

Adam raised his brows. ”And what could it be—?” he asked interested.

”I will cook you a red braised pork belly, Chinese style! It will be super delicious for sure!” Caden chuckled.

Adam smiled broadly. ”Okay...bring it on...show me your cooking skill bro!”

”I will start with 1-kilo pork first,” Caden said and began browsing videos about how to cook braised pork belly on his phone.

Adam has done eating, he stood up and left the table bringing with him his hot mug of coffee and went to the living room to watch the morning news on TV.

While sipping the coffee, there was news on TV about the fire that broke in one of the residential buildings in the city last night. Thankfully there were not many casualties, only two people died, but some of the residences got minor injuries and were taken to the hospitals for further health check-up and observation. There was a mystery surrounding the tragedy because the fire died even before the ambulance has a chance to fight the fire, then the occupants of the floor where the fire has started found themselves waking up in the ground floor without knowledge how did they even arrive there in the first place?
