"Yes. Pete and I are intercourse each other…" Liz said awkwardly as a cover up to hide the real reason she and Hornberger had been sneaking around. The rest of the writers groaned at this. It quickly went silent when Paula Hornberger, Pete's wife entered the room. She angrily threw Liz's wallet onto the table.
"This was in the car." She then turned to her husband. "Pete. What is wrong with you! First you lie about the vasectomy and then- THIS!" She shouted furiously.
"If I may Paula… I just said that because we are hiring a new cast member! I'm not really having sex with your husband…" Liz said, stepping forward.
"Really?" said Paula. "Because I really don't know if I should believe you… I know you're bored with our sex life Pete!" Paula pushed passed Liz. Frank Rossitano stifled a giggle. Liz shook her head sharply.
"It isn't like that at all Paula!" said Pete, nervously.
"No. Pete it's over… no buts. Come by and pick up your stuff tonight…" She said, storming out of the room. Pete stared after his wife, mouth slightly agape until he finally collapsed back into a chair, holding his head in his hands.
"Okay, I don't know if this is an inappropriate moment but are there really gonna be new cast members?" asked Frank, receiving glares from Liz and the rest of the cast.
Pete nodded "I'm not sleeping with Liz... That's horrifying Frank... Just... none of you should tell the actors."
"Does no one notice me!" Josh said, frustrated. Liz looked at him and shook her head.
"His wife just broke up with him, easy Josh..." said Liz. Josh nodded apologetically.
"Okay... Liz, I'm gonna head back early... I can stay at your place right?" Liz nodded offhandedly. "You're the best Liz!" Pete hugged her, "Tell Donaghy why I'm gone..."
"Poor guy..." Said Toofer. "If you two hadn't engaged in this charade this never would have happened!" He said, everyone rolled there eyes at his British pronunciation of the word.
