@Yewik Chettri  I would usually wait a bit (so they ain't mad) then approach with tea and dessert to share for a sincere apology. Sometimes a cat in arms as well. Food is great at bridging and no one can get angry at a cat. I wouldn't approach for conversation if they're already stressed at another target though because anger easily jumps targets. In that case I'd quietly deliver treats with an apology sticky note attached.

don't wait too long to approach though, there is a time and place for everything. Don't wait till tomorrow and if they are still fuming really bad 20 mins after your crime forget the food and run up and apologise immediately, they won't easily forgive you other wise.

real apologies are about listening. People have a tendency to rehearse excuses and then cracking it mid poor apology because it didn't meet expectations. Don't walk in defensive with arms crossed, you need to show your not mad and reasonable otherwise you asking for another fight. Keep yourself open. Good luck.
