Soap Opera "As The Mouse Moves" - Monday June 9th 2003
Tiffany walked through the lobby of the Plaza Hotel towards the dining room where she was meeting Brandon for dinner.  She glanced around nervously hoping she wouldn't run into her bosses' wife Nicole.  Today at work Nicole had broken the news to her husband Clark that she was leaving him.  Nicole had packed up an overnight bag and asked Tiffany to make her a reservation for the Plaza Hotel. Tiffany had even overheard Nicole upstairs talking on the phone with her ex-husband Skeeter soon after Clark heard the news of their impending divorce. 
"Miss Diamond, Mr. Douglas said he will be a little late for dinner. We have your table ready," the waiter said leading Tiffany towards a beautiful table under a palm tree.
"Would you like to order something while you wait?" he asked as he assisted Tiffany with her chair.
"No. I'm fine thanks," Tiffany said glancing around the dining room and noticing someone that looked like a famous movie star.
The cell phone rang in Tiffany's purse and she quickly took it out and opened it.
"Hello," she answered.
"Did you see Nicole there?" Starlene asked.
"No. I'm in the dining room now waiting on Brandon.  I really don't want to have dinner here.  I mean what if Nicole comes downstairs to have dinner too.  I don't want her to see me with Brandon," Tiffany said.
"Oh so what.  You have a right."
"Yeah, it just feels weird though. I mean she might tell someone and I sure don't want Amir to find out that I've been seeing Brandon."
"You don't have to worry, Amir's still tying up loose ends with his wife's death and the funeral," Starlene said.
"I know and that just makes me feel worse.  I mean he's over there on his island burying his wife and I'm over here with a wealthy new man," Tiffany said in a hushed voice as a couple was being seated at the table next to her.
"Enjoy Tiffany.  You're so lucky.  I mean you have two rich men to choose from now. If one doesn't work out you have the other," Starlene said as she applied lip-gloss.
"What are you doing tonight Starlene?"
"Stanley's coming over.  I'm going to try and make him either set a date for the wedding or agree to help me get a job with his friend that's the editor of Playbody Magazine.  I warned him if he doesn't soon marry me he's got to help me with my career," she said glancing in the mirror in the hallway.  She turned to the side to admire her voluptuous bosom in the low cut sweater.
"You have to get this silly idea out of your head Starlene.  Daddy would kill you.  You need to work on getting a job not a modeling career," Tiffany said glancing towards the entrance to the restaurant to see if Brandon had arrived.  She saw a group of people standing near the entrance and behind them she thought she saw her ex-husband Skeeter.  "Starlene!" she said breathlessly.
"I don't need a lecture," Starlene said defensively.
"Starlene!  I think Skeeter's here," Tiffany whispered as she picked up the menu and held it in front of her face.
"Get out!"
"Yes, that's definitely Skeeter!" Tiffany said peeping over the top of the menu. 
"Did he see you?" Starlene asked taking a seat on the sofa of the living room overlooking Washington Square Park.
"No.  Wait a minute... he just walked back towards the lobby.  Oh thank goodness he's gone," Tiffany said as her heart raced. "He just looked in the dining room and left," she said taking a deep breath of relief.
"Nicole's staying there tonight Tiffany.  Skeeter's looking for Nicole," Starlene said knowingly.
