Jason took the apples out of the refrigerator with a long sigh. Balancing two apples in one hand, he made his way to the slab and placed them on the fruit platter and his phone by the side.
He took the knife from the rack and proceeded to skilfully slice the apples just the way she liked it, but he had barely gone halfway when his attention was drawn by the vibrations of his phone on the slab.
Looking at the name on the screen, Jason didn't hesitate to pick up the call.
“Hello Grace?” he uttered, balancing the phone in between his ear and shoulder to avoid putting it on a loudspeaker.
“Hello sir,” Grace retorted from the other side of the phone
“I called to congratulate you on behalf of your wife,” She exclaimed with pleasure, giving Jason a hint on what the good news might be about.
“From what I see, she will be awarded the best actress of the year at the Fishford Awards, it's incredible to see that she has gotten global recognition.”
“Well deserved, don't you think?” Jason asked, his eyes still fixed on the apples he was slicing for his mother-in-law. It warmed his heart to hear of his wife's success, afterall, not many people get the chance to have a celebrity partner.
“Yes sir,” Grace replied,
“This will make her new role stand out in the upcoming production, although I fear that Amy Thomson will not give her a chance.”
Placing the knife in the sink, Jason took the phone in his hand,
“This is not about Jennifer Thomson,” He said,
“I don't want to know how the industry will do it, but I want Amy Thomson to be removed from the cast. My wife should take on the lead role without a co-star, they should rewrite the script if they must.”
His tone carried a hint of authority, and he appeared to be certain that his instructions would be obeyed, but just before Grace could respond, the voice of an angry lady was heard from the living room, putting a stop to their discussion.
“I'll call you back.”
Jason quickly disconnected the call and sighed in frustration. With a hint of displeasure in his facial expression, he picked up the fruit platter and made his way out of the kitchen to serve those apples to his mother-in-law.
As he approached from behind, Jason stole a glance at the lady seated on the couch, with both legs balanced on the glass center table. It appeared that she had moved a few antiques to the edge of the table to make room for her legs.
Ignoring this well-known behavior, Jason averted his gaze and looked up at the television. He was drawn by the voice of a popular actor on the screen and it occurred to him that his mother-in-law had turned to the Fishford Awards, the same award show that his wife was nominated for.
“Your apples,” He mumbled under his breath and placed the platter on the side of the table that her legs didn't occupy.
“Well, that took you several hours!” The lady snapped, casting a furious look upon the man whom her daughter was married to.
“Hand it over to me,” she ordered him, without taking her eyes off the television screen.
Jason sighed, picked up the apple from the table and handed it over to the lady who was totally immersed in the show.
