After your respective publishing companies are merged together, you and Garreth are forced to work together—despite the clear distaste you have towards each other. With being complete opposites in every way possible, practically despising even sharing the same office—your rivalry comes to a head when you go face-to-face for the same promotion.

Realizing neither of you want to work under the other, you decide to make a bet: whoever does not get the job has to quit.

However, it's only a matter of time before things to start to heat up—the tension being rather confronting to the both of you, the only issue: both of you are rather stubborn.

With the promotion becoming increasingly something you both want, it now has become a rather intense competition between the pair of you.

Intense is one word for it.
