If I am in my office and the space-time continuum is further bent, would I realize that time is passing slower or faster and why?PS: I am new to physics, so please provide a complete answer.

By increasing the mass of the object.
 
What do you think?

My intuition tells me time will be relatively slower, but I am not sure why.

This is getting to be a bit ridiculous.

Let's just go with simple "gravity", especially if you are just learning physics. "Time continuum" is meaningless in this context.

Now please start from there and re formulate your question. Are you already well-versed in the concept of time dilation in special relativity to move on to general relativity, if not, the you need to learn how to crawl first before thinking that you can do a sprint.
