indignant - Story 72121 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The thought sent a fresh wave of heat through her chest.

She slammed her fist lightly on the armrest of the uncomfortable airport chair. The flimsy plastic did nothing to relieve her frustration. She needed that presentation at the airport bar, now! Grabbing her carry-on, she stormed toward the bar, the click of her heels echoing on the polished floor.
