Recalling the awkward moment, Grace said that her manager saw her during the boarding of the flight.

"Long story short, I was waiting in the line and then I saw a familiar face coming to me which called my name," shenarrated.

When the manager saw Grace, he sarcastically asked her, "Oh, so this is a hospital?"

However, despite such an awkward run-in, the two of them took things in stride. "I was so shocked but we ended up laughing together," Grace said.

"We ended up talking all the way to the aeroplane and while we're inside, he took that picture and sent it to me," hence the screenshot in the video, she said.

The video went viral, as TikTok users left various comments on it. "I’d cry like a baby and give my resignation letter," wrote one user.
