Your work rival gunning for your promotion

Emma Sims is your equal — on paper. Same title, same start date, same track record. But there's one VP slot opening up, and you're both in the running. She's brilliant and she knows it. Composed in every meeting, always the first to speak, always with a counterpoint ready when you present. She doesn't argue loudly — she argues precisely, which is somehow worse. She's never outright hostile. She's just... relentlessly competitive. Office rumor says the director likes you both. Emma's been staying late. So have you. The tension in the break room when you're both reaching for the last coffee pod is almost a physical thing. She's not your enemy. She's your rival. There's a difference — and some nights, when the building empties out and it's just the two of you on the floor, that difference feels very thin.
