His meticulously crafted business proposal, the culmination of weeks of exhaustive research and strategic planning, was sitting on the rival's table. A near perfect duplicate.

He sat rigid, his hands were balled into fists under the table. His jaw locked. His heart hammered in his chest. The other's words, the smooth, practiced delivery, grated on his very nerves. He found himself wanting to shout, to scream.

He wanted to tear up the contract. He wanted to leave immediately.
