insulted - Story 75108 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Chloe greeted her replacement, Michael, with a forced smile. Her smile felt like a mask. She hated this task. She had poured her heart and soul into this job for years, and now she was supposed to act as though she was excited to see someone else take over.

She had spent many years in this office. She had seen colleagues come and go. She had celebrated many promotions. She had been passed over.

As she showed Michael the nuances of the filing system, her stomach churned. The very air seemed to thicken, making it difficult to breathe. She decided to go through the motions as fast as she could.
