annoyed - Story 6101 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Brenda tapped her pen against the keyboard, the clicking a staccato rhythm against the silence of the office. Her breath hitched slightly when the new girl, Sarah, tripped over the power cord for the second time that morning. *Honestly*, she thought, her jaw clenching. Brenda had been here five years, and she had never done something so clumsy.

"Okay, so that's the filing system," Brenda said, her voice tight. "The most important thing is to be consistent. Don't, under any circumstances, just shove things in wherever you please." She gestured emphatically at a stack of papers, her knuckles white.

Sarah just smiled, a little too brightly, Brenda thought. It was all so very *easy* for her. Brenda felt a prickly heat rise up her neck. She pushed away from her desk, the squeak of the chair grating on her ears.
