spiteful - Story 138156 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The interview was finally over. Karen had a good feeling about it. She and Lisa, her lifelong friend, were up for the same role at the marketing firm.

Karen waited until Lisa went to the bathroom, and then "accidentally" brushed against Lisa's portfolio on the table, scattering the important contents. She then casually mentioned to the interviewer that Lisa had always been rather disorganized.

The next day, Karen got the phone call. She was elated. She then immediately sent Lisa a congratulatory message, asking if she was "okay".
