"Ms. Thalia."
I walked up to greet her but startled her instead, causing her to almost toss the lunch box in her hands to the floor.
"M-Mrs. Grant." She was so stunned that her face was pale with shock.
Seeing how shocked she was by me, I quickly apologized. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. I thought you saw me."
She was probably so immersed in the joy of being in love that she did not notice the people and things around her, that was why she was startled when I suddenly spoke.
Thalia calmed herself down, and the blush on her face was gone. She actually looked a little pale now. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Grant. I was lost in thought just now and didn’t see you coming in."
I laughed. "I should be the one apologizing for calling you when I’m so near. It’s no wonder you were shocked."
I pointed at the lunch box in her hand and asked with a smile, “Are you dating someone?"
Thalia was startled and quickly hid the lunch box behind her. She lowered her head and muttered, "No, I'm just delivering some snacks to my colleagues."
From the looks of it, she might have just started dating or was at the flirting stage. That explained why she was shy and timid.
I smiled. "If you like him, then just pursue him bravely. A brave woman is the most attractive."
Thalia quickly lifted her head and explained to me, "You got the wrong idea, Mrs. Grant. I'm not-"
