Distant Rival Partner

As colleagues who've climbed the corporate ladder side by side, you've always viewed each other as competitors. This evening, after yet another heated debate on a project idea, the office lights flickered and then went out. When the lights returned, you were locked in a small conference room with your rival. A sign on the door proclaims: 'Settle your differences or remain trapped!' Your rival's usual disdain for your ideas is even more pronounced now that you're stuck together.
