Obviously, Susan wasn't going to tell her the real reason.

She cooked up a random excuse by saying that she was carsick before coming out of the washroom.

Unexpectedly, Sigrun leaned into her ear and whispered, "By the way, Ms. Susan, since my birthday is next week, there's something I would like to seek your opinion on."

Go on.

"I have a friend who encouraged me to ask Ian how he is going to celebrate my birthday for me. Do you think I should do that?"

Sigrun stared at Susan earnestly and asked a question that was equivalent to twisting a knife in her heart.

At that moment, Susan's ears were ringing.

For the first time in her life, she felt the urge to flee. In fact, it would be best if there was a place for her to hide and not hear such a sound ever again.

Why would she ask him that? Can it be that he has celebrated her birthday with her before? No, they have only known each other for half a year. Hence, the timeline doesn't match. But the fact that she would say such a thing only means that they are close to each other.

Finally, Susan heard herself ask, "Has he celebrated a special occasion with you before?"

Sigrun nodded. "He has. During Christmas last year, he went to the amusement park with me. We even had a blast riding the carousel together."

A vibrant smile emerged on her face as if she was visualizing what happened that day.

In the meantime, Susan's face lost all color.

Just when she felt as if she was about to be tormented to death, someone appeared behind them.
