insulted - Story 75663 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cold, metallic air of the elevator seemed to amplify the heat rising in Maria's chest. She had a presentation tomorrow, and Mr. Henderson's off-the-cuff comment about her 'lack of experience' had still been smarting when the power cut out. Now, here she was, trapped with him.

She stared pointedly at the floor numbers, willing the display to change. "Do you think we'll be okay?" Mr. Henderson asked, his voice laced with forced cheer. Maria ignored him, her gaze fixed.

She felt a prickly heat at the back of her neck. He was probably thinking she was incompetent, that she couldn't handle the pressure. She felt the urge to scream.

Maria folded her arms tightly across her chest. She needed to get out of this cage. Now.
