Corporate Finance Interview Question - Advice Needed

Hey guys,

Just had an IB interview a couple days ago and wanted you get your opinion on what you guys think is right thing to do in this situation:

I had two interviewers, both were asking questions interchangeably, but one would always be staring me right in the eyes on any given question. Would the right thing here be to just maintain eye contact with both, but stare back into the person's eyes to give off confidence? Not for a prolonged period of time, but when I do make eye contact with that person to stare right back?

Let me know what you guys think is the right thing to do here!
