vengeful - Story 162279 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bland cafeteria food tasted like ash in Kevin’s mouth. The transfer to the cafeteria staff was a clear attempt to sideline him, to clip his wings, as they say. He wouldn’t be caged.

His hands were trembling as he started his new duties. He knew the kitchen layout, the recipes, the food. He'd find the opportunity, something they wouldn't expect.

He started with the orders, the ingredients, the cost. He made sure the profits went down, and when the complaints started, he made sure he could justify his actions. He wouldn’t let them get away with this.
