How to handle an awkward confrontation?

What if one of your superiors suspects you of interviewing at other places and confronts you about it? How would you handle it?

Also.. do you think your employers would be petty enough to fire you over such a discovery? Obviously not on the grounds that you are looking elsewhere, I'm sure they would fabricate some other BS reason.

are you interviewing internally or externally?

if externally is it for pe/hf or for the same group at another bank ? or another ibd group at another bank?
