He wasn't insulting, just stating facts aloud.

"Yes, I take this way more than my employees I think. At least I used to." His reason for visiting had long gone though. Hm. "And you were heading down. I should warn that the entrance to my department through here is into the greenhouses. It's a bit of a challenge to get through if you don't know what to expect." And... if you were wearing all white and heels.

Used to? Althea raised one eyebrow but didn't inquire further. Who was she to judge illicit workplace romances? Which of course was the natural assumption when someone was using a practically secret stairwell in order to visit someone, rather than take the lifts like normal people.
