annoyed - Story 6653 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coffee was lukewarm, the meeting was boring, and now this. Her phone chirped, a small but irritating sound. She checked the message. It was a picture of a particularly unflattering selfie, sent to her boss. It should have been for her best friend, who was struggling with a bad breakup. Her chest felt constricted. A bead of sweat trickled down her temple. Swallowing hard, she hastily composed a message to her boss: "Sorry! Wrong person! Ignore!!" Then, she pinched the bridge of her nose, fighting back a wave of heat creeping up her neck.
