It was a blatant power play. When Chris saw the announcement – a lavish cocktail party thrown by Mark, on the exact same date as his intimate wine tasting – he felt a wave of icy fury wash over him. Mark knew how important the wine tasting was; it was his passion project.

His knuckles whitened as he gripped his phone. He had to stop this.

Chris set about building the best wine-tasting experience in the city. He hired a famous sommelier. He booked a luxurious venue.

He then contacted Mark's most successful clients. Offering them a taste of the "real thing."

Chris looked at the event calendar. As the night unfolded, he watched from his window, as the cocktail party petered out, and the wine tasting soared.
