That's probably one of the few English phrases I'm sure most Japanese will undoubtedly understand. Kind of like how most American English speakers know what arigatou means. I think she was doing it to be formal, and to show off. Eiji is a big shot when it comes to manga and she's a newbie, so she probably just wanted to make a good impression. Speaking another language generally gets that feeling across, especially if you can deliver it fluently, which I assume she did. She's Iwase, afterall. xD
