113 REEL IN THE FISH III (1/2)

Ann acted like she doesn't have an idea that Ronald was there. ”Honey! You're here already?” She called out for Jeff, knowing he's not there.

Ronald got the idea and played along with Ann. ”Good evening boss lady, Lea! I'm sorry, but the boss has something to finish before coming over.”

”He asked me to come over first to start preparing what you needed for dinner; I hope you don't mind?” He's turning red by the minutes from telling a lie.

Ann acted innocently. ” Oh! That's so thoughtful of him. Then let me thank you for making all the preparation ahead of time.”

Lea was standing there, watching the two play the act. 'She's not that stupid. She knows her best friend and her husband were playing cupid, and she loves it.'

Lea looks at the uncomfortable looking Ronald. 'He's so cute when he's blushing like a teenager. She decided to play along with everyone.'

”It's good that you're here, at least I won't be a third wheel,” Lea told Ronald with her eyes showing gratitude.

Lea acted hurt. ” I thought it would only be you and I, girls night. But now I hear that your husband will be with us; It's not fair.” She pouted and tilted her head then looked into the ceiling.

”Alright! You got me; we just thought that we could have a nice quiet dinner together, that's all.” Now It's Ann's turn to act hurt.

Ronald felt much better after hearing that Lea doesn't mind for him to be there.

Finally, Jeff arrives with a big smile on his face. He looked at Ronald then at Leah then started chuckling then winks at his wife.

”Alright let's start cooking, I'm hungry, I could eat a whole cow right now,” Ann told everyone.

Ronald handed everyone an apron then put one onto himself.

”How should we do this?” Ann looks at the three for a suggestion.

Jeff made the decision; he doesn't want to tires his wife after working all day. ”How about you supervise us, and will do all the work.”

Everyone agrees, and they started to prepare and cook.

”Okay, we'll start with the appetizer first. ”Honey, preheat the oven to 450 deg. celsius.” She told Jeff.

Lea slice five tomatoes in 1/4 slice then place it on the baking sheets.”

”Ronald, where's the mozzarella cheese? Slice them, for each tomato put a slice of mozzarella. After that, you need to season it with olive oil, salt, and pepper.”

Jeff was standing there watching his wife give's order to the two. He's done his part. He turned the oven on to preheat.

Ann continued with her instruction. ” Put one basil leaf on top each tomato with a mozzarella slice.” She told Ronald and lea who's having fun working together.
