The glass revolving door rotated as Jackson Jeffrey passed through them. He sat next to another black man with a sharp suit.

“Why do they do this?” The man, Vinton Hill asked Jeffrey.

“Do what?”

“Pit black man against black man? You know I have to beat you.”

“I never considered beating anyone just accomplishing on my own level.”

“We’re going in for the same position. It carries seven figures a year. There’s no way that we’re going to both get it.”

“I’m not worried.”

Hill leapt from his seat and shook Jeffrey’s hand.

“This was the interview. You’re hired.”
