humiliated - Story 67434 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Chef Antoine's Truffle Infused Risotto" – the name glared back at me from the glossy menu. Every single instruction, every subtle nuance, was ripped straight from my notebook. I felt a cold knot form in my stomach. It was a kick in the teeth.

I sat in the dimly lit restaurant, unable to even touch the water glass. My former sous chef, Antoine, was now the celebrated head chef of this prestigious establishment, and I, the one who taught him everything, was now simply a guest.

My mouth felt dry, and my heart hammered against my ribs. I had to leave. Now.
