Ira immediately reached out her hand and said , " Nice to meet you , Ms. Spence . " Marie gently placed her hand on Ira's for a moment , then quickly withdrew it . Even though it was just a handshake , she could tell by the way Ira stared at her intently that he was interested in her .

" Ira said with a smile , " That's what Ms. Spence said . " " Carly stood to the side , watching the two converse , but she couldn't get a word in . Angrily , she clenched her dress hem . She turned around to look for Mia , but surprisingly , Ira didn't notice . It was Marie who said , " Oh dear , I hope Carly isn't upset . " Ira smiled and said , " Don't worry , Carly is just being childish . She'll be fine in a bit . " " Ira really knows Carly well , they're such a talented and good - looking couple . " Marie said .

She said a few words to Carly , telling her not to act like a child . Carly could only listen , as two tears fell from her eyes , before heading to the restroom to fix her makeup . Marie had just come out of the bathroom and saw Carly touching up her makeup . She didn't pay her any attention and continued walking towards the door . Carly turned around and slammed the door shut with a loud bang , saying , " Marie , have you no shame ! " Marie found herself trapped in the bathroom , but she wasn't worried . With her arms crossed , she asked , " Well , go ahead and tell me , how exactly am I shameless ? " " You clearly know that Ira is my boyfriend , yet you still try to get close to him . You're just like your mother , with that seductive look , always trying to lure men ! " Carly said viciously . " Slap ! " Without any hesitation , Marie slapped Carly right across the face .
