Epidemic

It was not as if she was not aware of it. She always knew she was going to start the chain reaction. Afterall, it does spread with contact.
And yet she carelessly roamed around the office from desk to desk greeting every person.
Most people got affected immediately. Some resisted for a couple of minutes but could not resist any more.
It was visible on people's faces. Their facial expressions changed; their lips started curving almost instanteneously.
The epidemic had spread. Her smile truly was contagious.
