greedy - Story 56473 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell rang, startling him. He peered through the peephole. A delivery person, holding a large, beautifully wrapped gift. It was addressed to "Ms. Sarah Chen, Suite 3B." That was the name on the lease before his. His mouth went dry.

He fumbled with the lock, letting the delivery person in. The package was heavy, the ribbon a perfect crimson. He signed for it with a flourish. Once the door closed, he didn't even bother to take it inside.

He ripped into the paper. It was a designer handbag. The supple leather, the perfect stitching…he had no use for it. But the thought of selling it, of the money…that possibility sent a shiver down his spine. He imagined the price tag.
