Ms Truss was heard to say: “It’s a great pleasure.”
It came after Ms Truss faced Prime Minister’s Questions in Parliament, where she insisted she will not cut spending to balance the books as economists and the financial markets continued to question her plans.
Ms Truss told MPs she is “absolutely” not planning public spending reductions, but insisted taxpayers’ money will be used well.
Speaking during PMQs on Wednesday, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer asked the PM: "This morning, the Business secretary toured the TV studios arguing that the turmoil in the markets has nothing to do with her budget, does the Prime Minister agree with him?"
Before Ms Truss responded by saying: "What we have done, we have taken decisive action to make sure people are not facing energy bills of £6,000 for two years and I think we remember the opposition is only talking about six months.
"We’ve also taken decisive action to make sure we are not facing the highest taxes for 70 years in the face of a global economic slowdown.
"What we are making sure is that we protect our economy at this very difficult time internationally.
"And as a result of our action we will see higher growth and lower inflation."
To which the Labour leader hit back, saying: "Avoiding the question, ducking responsibility, lost in denial, no wonder investors have no confidence in her Government."
Separately, on Wednesday afternoon the King also met the King and Queen of Malaysia, known as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Raja Permaisuri Agong.

King Charles III murmured "dear, oh dear" as he welcomed Liz Truss to a meeting - and managed to relatably sum up everyone's feelings towards the prime minister (at least the internet thinks so).
The two met at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday night (October 12) for their weekly audience where the new King was filmed greeting Truss as she was escorted to the King's equerry by two servants.
“Prime minister, Your Majesty," the equerry announced to the monarch.
Truss then stepped forward to greet His Majesty with a handshake and a bow.
“So you’ve come back again?” King Charles said to Truss, to which she replied: "Well, it's a great pleasure."
"Dear, oh dear. Anyway…", the sovereign replied.
Though it remains unclear what his remark is in reference to, people online were thoroughly amused by King Charles appearing unimpressed.
The clip was compared to something straight out of The Office.
Their weekly audience comes after King Charles announced he would not attend the Cop27 climate change summit in Egypt next month following reports this was Truss's advice.
Meanwhile, Truss has had a disastrous start as prime minister with the controversial mini-Budget causing the pound to tank which in the end caused her to U-turn on plans to cut to the 45 per cent top rate of income tax after people questioned how long she would remain as PM.

or Blackadder III...
or a Victoria Wood sketch.
There's been a request for the scene to be included in Netflix drama The Crown.
While some imagined how the rest of the meeting went...
