suspicious - Story 145649 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He’d witnessed the CFO and the head of operations deep in conversation by the loading dock, their voices barely audible. The conversation had lasted for a long time. They left with stern looks on their faces.

He kept replaying the scene in his head. The implications were too terrible to consider, but he couldn’t stop himself. His future felt uncertain.
