Soap Opera "As The Mouse Moves" - Monday December 23rd 2002
Tiffany watched Skeeter's face as he listened intently to the sounds of passion coming from the upstairs bedroom where she worked.
"Whose up there with Nicole?" Skeeter asked remembering the many stolen intimate encounters he'd had with Clark's young bride Nicole.
"Clark left me a note this morning saying that he went to Florida.  Her young boyfriend next door came over as soon as I got here," Tiffany said happy with the expression of suffering on Skeeter's face. She had suspected all along that her estranged husband had an affair with Nicole.  Skeeter had never been honest about his affairs and she suspected nothing had changed.
"Well, I guess it's Clark's problem but if I were him... " Skeeter said hesitating as the bed hit the wall with more intensity before sudden quiet.
"You better hurry and tell me why you came by to talk to me Skeeter.  Nicole will be down soon... that is unless someone else comes by to see her," Tiffany said watching Skeeter's face.
"I'll just come back another time," he said getting up from the sofa and quickly starting towards the door.
"What's the matter? Is this too much for you to handle?"
"That's a nasty remark Tiffany," Skeeter said in his slow southern accent as he picked up his black leather jacket from the chair near the front door.
"Skeeter you weren't one of Nicole's guys were you?" Tiffany asked walking towards the door.
"What are you talking about?"
"She hasn't missed many opportunities and I know you wouldn't turn her down," Tiffany said softly as she heard the sounds of footsteps walking towards the upstairs bathroom.
"That's all your imagination."
"Oh. You said that Jan was my imagination too and now you're engaged to her."
"I came here to talk to you about it.  I'll come by your apartment later," he said zipping his jacket.
"No."
"No?"
"No, I said."
"Why?  You still got your rich lover Amir coming over, is that why?" he asked still unable to hide his jealousy that she had become the lover of the wealthiest man in New York City.
"No Skeeter.  I don't have a rich lover.  I don't see Amir anymore. You're the one with a rich lover and you're marrying her. Probably for her money too," Tiffany said in a loud whisper.
"Look Tiffany.  I came by here to talk this over with you but I can see you aren't going to be civil about it."
"Civil!  I'm civil, it's the people around me that aren't very civil," she said nodding her head towards the ceiling as they heard the sounds of Greg's voice upstairs.
"Why do you work here?"
"I need a job Skeeter."
"They paying you a lot?"
"That's none of your business," Tiffany said feeling her face redden as she remembered the large check that Nicole had given her as a bonus.  She hadn't gotten out of the front door of the office to leave before she realized that Nicole's bonus amounted to hush money.
"Oh, I can tell by the look in your eyes Tiffany... they're paying you a lot. Do men come in and go upstairs with you too?"  Skeeter asked as his eyes narrowed.
"No!" she whispered a little louder than she had intended.
"You can either cooperate with me, or I can have my lawyer deal with you," Skeeter said satisfied with the fear he saw in her eyes.
