Susanna was bored out of her mind playing games. Unable to get a word in edgewise with the others, she decided to get up and wander around.

She strolled past a rose arbor and spotted someone leaning against a tree under the streetlamp, enjoying a smoke.

Her eyes lit up, and she approached with a smile. "Mr. Foster!"

Carson turned, a faint smile crossing his face at her familiar tone. "Ms. Murphy knows me?"

"Last year at my grandad's birthday party, you came along with Mr. Foster!" Susanna raised an eyebrow teasingly. "Guess you don't remember me with all the beauties around you!"

Carson genuinely couldn't recall her, especially since she was Andrew's fiancée, and her remark seemed quite out of place. His expression cooled. "You're Andrew's fiancée. I'll definitely remember that now." "Just a business arrangement!" Susanna said nonchalantly. "Like you and Marina, just playing the field!"

Carson's demeanor grew colder. "I can't speak for you and Andrew, but please, Ms. Murphy, don't speculate about me and my fiancée."

Susanna quirked an eyebrow. "Upset, Mr. Foster?"

She chuckled. "You're not serious about Marina, are you? Because I just heard Marina saying she's not into you at all!"

Carson's expression remained unchanged. "That's between me and my fiancée. It's none of your business."

With that, he walked away without another glance at her.
