frustrated - Story 51035 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone rang, the shrill sound cutting through the otherwise silent apartment. Clara stared at the device, willing it to stop. It vibrated, insistent, a digital mosquito buzzing in her ear. It was her agent. More questions. More invasive inquiries about the book, "Clara Bellweather: The Accidental Artist," which she knew nothing about. She considered ignoring it. Again.

She finally picked up, her voice a tight, controlled rasp. She listened to the agent's smooth, placating tones, the words weaving a tale of opportunity and exposure. She wanted to scream. She wanted to hide.

She ended the call abruptly. She felt a cold dread settle in her stomach.
