offended - Story 95667 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The stale air was making Olivia feel queasy. Michael was telling a story about his weekend, and she was having trouble focusing. She knew he'd been promoted over her last month, even though their work ethic was the same.

The sudden halt of the elevator brought the conversation to an abrupt end. Michael looked at her expectantly. She found herself unable to meet his gaze. She wasn’t sure how to feel.

"Well, this is just great," he finally said. Olivia said nothing. She leaned against the wall, trying to control the fluttering in her chest.
