Chapter 17 - Men in the kitchen

*Inside the presidential suite/lounge*

Jeff, Lian, Ethan and Alfred are inside the kitchen. Ingredients are scattered all over the place. Alfred is chopping vegetables, Lian is grilling meat, Ethan is cooking meat while Jeff sat nonchalantly on the cupboard.

"When I said all of us, I meant all, not some". Lian said as he shut the oven.

"I'm helping, I'm the chief supervisor. I volunteered to taste". He smirked.

"Well done Mr taster." Ethan mocked as he carried the pot of meat down. He starts separating the meat from the water. "No one wants your opinion"

"Besides I was the one who shopped for these

groceries. I deserve a well-done and a little rest". Jeff replied. He took a piece of meat from Ethan's sieve. Ethan glared at him. "Just doing my job". He stuffed his mouth with the meat.

"This is hard work". Lian commented.

"How is it?". Ethan asked Jeff.

"I thought you didn't want my opinion". He ate the remaining one. "Well..." He swallowed and nodded. "I really don't know, can I have another piece?. I didn't check properly".

"Mtcheww. Eat your fingers". Ethan replied and Jeff laughs.

"Hey!" Lian called out to Alfred. "You've been quiet"

"I think the vegetable is much work". Ethan replied

"Its not much, it's just carrots and.... these stuff". Jeff pointed at the vegetables. They looked at him. "I mustn't know all their names".

"I'm just thinking, why do we have to prepare this instead of ordering it?". Alfred asked and they laughed.

"Lazy". Lian called.

"He does have a point, it's only a little get together not a feast".

"Hey". Ethan called on Jeff ignoring what he said. Jeff looked at him. "Pass me the flour"

"It's right above your head". Lian directed. Jeff made to carry the flour from the shelf and slipped on the wet floor. The flour spilled all over him and on the flour. They burst out laughing. Ethan quickly clicked a photo.

"Delete that!". Jeff yelled. "Never mind. Group photo".

They all came together to take a picture. Jeff emptied the remaining flour on the three. "Say cheese.". They took a shot. The looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Now we don't have any flour". Ethan said.

"There's a little down there". Alfred pointed at the lower cupboard. "But it's corn flour"

"Flour is flour." Lian commented.

"I don't mind". Their phones beeped. "Thank me later" Ethan said. Alfred opened the image Ethan sent to him and smiled.

"Men in the kitchen". He commented and they

Laughed

Julian was with Emma when she got a message from Alfred.

I was hoping you could join us for a little hang out in my room. You and your friends.

"Ohhhhh. A message from mister." Emma teased.

"Hey, that's my phone". Julian read the message and smiled.

"Ohhhh, the message brought a smile. I wonder what the content is.".

"He wants us to hangout".

"I see a date"

"No. You and Peter are invited. Rita also". Julian still felt a little resentment when she learnt Rita wanted to divert Alfred's attention. She knew she wasn't supposed to be jealous but she was.

"I'm in. Hang out in the president's lounge and with the four hottest guys in this academy. 100% in".

"I never said we are going".

"Duhh, I didn't ask for your opinion. I'll will inform them"
