jealous - Story 79310 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elevator doors opened, and Emily caught a glimpse of Sarah’s face. Sarah, who was talking animatedly on her phone, seemed to be bursting with energy. Emily had just found out that Sarah's income was far greater than hers.

Emily’s smile felt frozen on her face. She hated how hollow it sounded, even to her own ears. This was the second time this week she'd felt this way about someone else's achievement. How did Sarah always seem to find these opportunities?

Emily waited until the elevator doors closed. She took a deep breath, and then another. She made a mental note to check the job postings online. She had a sudden desire to find a new job.
