suspicious - Story 145109 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I walked him through the daily tasks, each word a struggle. His presence felt like a weight, a constant pressure. I didn't like how his eyes followed me. I watched him back, always. I didn't trust him.

"This is how we handle the customer complaints," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. He nodded, but his gaze was locked on something else, something I couldn't see.

He didn’t ask the typical questions, he went deeper. He wanted specifics, wanted to know how I dealt with difficult customers. He wanted to know how I had gotten where I was.

I felt a growing unease, a cold dread. I felt as if everything I had worked for was being threatened. I had a feeling that he was going to take it all away from me. I was certain.
