annoyed - Story 6305 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elevator ride felt interminably long. John, hands jammed into his pockets, avoided eye contact with the other passengers. He stared at the floor numbers ticking upwards, each number a weight bearing down on him. The new compensation structure. He'd seen it this morning. He could hardly believe it. That rookie, Jessica, made more.

He had promised himself a pleasant weekend, something to forget the office, but his mind kept returning to the subject. The smile he gave to his colleagues was curt, the greetings short. He felt a surge of adrenaline, and his heart was racing.

He imagined what he would say when he next encountered Jessica, but the words felt clumsy and the imagined conversation quickly dissolved.
