jealous - Story 79695 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The promotion announcement hung heavy in the air. "Congratulations, John!" Sarah managed to force a smile. She was happy for him, of course. She just couldn't shake the sensation that her throat was closing up.

She found herself snapping at her assistant, a tone that was completely uncharacteristic. She couldn't focus on her own work. Each time she caught John’s eye, she felt an inexplicable urge to look away.

She made a point to work late that night, the only person left in the vast expanse of the office. She opened a file on a project John was overseeing and made a few "suggestions".
