[Kyle's Apartment]
Kyle stood in the small but clean kitchen. Holding a wooden spoon in one hand as he stirred the thick curry bubbling gently in the pot.
The air was rich with the scent of turmeric, cumin, garlic, and a hint of chili.
All blending together into a warm, mouthwatering aroma.
A bit of steam rolled up from the surface, fogging the glass window near the sink.
He gave the pot another stir. Making sure nothing stuck to the bottom, then lowered the flame.
The curry had been cooking for a while now, and the spices had blended into a deep, rich color.
It looked good, better than the rushed meals he usually made, and he hoped Aurelia would like it.
With one hand still on the spoon. He reached for his phone on the counter. Unlocking it with a quick swipe.
His eyes moved across the screen. Scanning the latest financial updates.
Among all the boring data and charts. One company name made him stop.
Veyron Industries.
