greedy - Story 56662 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A bead of sweat trickled down Amelia's temple. Her gaze darted to her phone, the screen blank, a mocking void. She had a bidding war she needed to be in. Every minute cost her money. Every moment she wasn't orchestrating the deal would mean less for her.

"Anything?" Mark, her coworker, asked, his voice calm. She hated him for it. His easygoing nature irritated her. He had none of the fire, none of the… *urgency*.

Amelia patted her pockets, her hands trembling. Her fingers traced the outline of the expensive pen in her pocket, a symbol of the success she craved. It would not be enough. She needed more. Each lost opportunity created a void within her.
