The city noise seemed muted to Henry. He was a force to be reckoned with this morning. He could feel it in his blood, that need to succeed. The promotion was more than just a job; it was a vindication of his hard work.

He found himself ignoring the distractions of the office. He was on a mission. Nothing else mattered.

He saw Elena, the other candidate, attempting to make small talk. Henry simply gave her a stiff nod before excusing himself to review his notes.

The interview was a test of wills. The panel’s questions were challenging, but Henry met each one with a confident response. He laid out his vision, his plan. He didn't want to fail.
