excited - Story 48305 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elevator doors opened, and a sudden rush of warmth flooded my cheeks. It was the information I needed, finally. And it was juicy.

I knew, because I looked. The new guy, Daniel, was making more than me. I had to learn why.

I saw him. Daniel. The intern. The one with the fancy suit. I caught his eye, and my heart beat faster. This was going to be so much fun.
