Apologies?

Last time i told about my colleague who was not so friendly to a student.

But there was another interessting thing in this. Afterwards i told her, what i thought about their conversation (and especially her part). This was the main reason, why she felt remorseful afterwards.

But then she tried to make it up... with me. It wasn't that she tried to appologise to the student. She tried to win my approval again. She tried to engage me in conversation, was overly friendly and was very agreeable with what i said.

I guess she thought us to be equals till then. But then she thought she had lost her face in my eyes. So she tried to win me over again and gain some respect back.

I guess she felt a little ashamed about how she threated the student and so she didn't talk to her again. At least not that i know.
