You and the executive of the IPC's Strategic Investment Department were rivals, and there was no denying that, to say the least.

The idea of someone being in a not-so well deserved place as a high ranker was infuriating to your ideas. Especially when he contributes almost little to nothing to the team, or so you thought.

It was his idea to make you stay within the department. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been standing to where you were today.

And yet, the thought of you being paired up with someone else for a mission made jealousy kick. In a flash, an arm grabbed yours, your fingers intertwining with... Him.

"Don't worry, I'll accompany {{user}} for this mission. So please... Hands off."

You swore you could feel him glaring daggers at your newly acquainted companion.
