Eugene made Molly join him and they started preparing things. Mara looked around at the decorations Eugene did. She smiled slightly then shrugged it off. She opens CCTV recordings in her laptop to see what everyone is doing? But she is scared and shocked when the recording shows nothing and just glitches.
"What happened?? Why are the CCTV cameras aren't working?" Mara worryingly says.
She gets up and goes outside her cabin. She saw no one in the way. Then she opens the door where Eugene and all work but finds nothing. She comes to the cafeteria and then the hallway and also at reception but she finds no one, which kinda makes her confused and worried.
"Where the hell is everyone going?" Mara says.
Then there's only conference room left to check so she goes upstairs and opens the door of the conference room but finds nothing. Then she turns around to look behind and then again looks forward. Suddenly a popper pops out and the noise makes her flinch.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU…!!!" everyone starts singing a song while popping the popper.
Mara gets surprised by all this and sees the employees sing a birthday song to her. And then Eugene comes out with a cake in his hands. He comes towards Mara after passing the employees. Which makes her remember about her 9th birthday. How her childhood friends were singing a song for her and her father showed up with the cake in his hands.
All the things come in front of her eyes which haunts to give her panic attacks but she holds herself then Eugene places the cake on the table and tells Mara to cut the cake.
Mara is having panic attacks but she holds herself and moves towards the cake Eugene handing her a knife and she takes it then she bent down and sees her childhood friends in employees and she is having difficulty in breathing. Her eyes are shaking and then smiles towards employees. Mara hesitates to blow the candles so she again looks up and smiles.
"Cmon! Blow the candles" Eugene says.
Then she closed her eyes tightly and blew out the candles. And then she, with shaking hands, cut the cake.
"No… not here! Everything is going to be fine. They are good people, not your dad. Chill Mara!" Mara thinks and tries to control her anxiety and panic attacks. But Eugene did something that made her lose her control.
Eugene took the cake piece and about to feed her she smiles and about to eat it but Eugene is playing with her then he spreads all cream to Mara's face and eats some cream from her face like her father did before.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARA DEAR…!" Eugene says and Mara flinches.
"Wha happened??" Eugene asks.
"No…!" Mara mumbled and left the office.
"Mara…!!" Eugene called her name multiple times but she didn't listen.
Eugene looks at employees whose fear has come true. They all looked worried about their jobs. Eugene tries to chase Mara but suddenly her lawyer shows up and grabs the collar of Mara.
"How dared you to touch my Mara??" he shouts.
Eugene gets annoyed and grabs his hand harshly.
"If I show you my dare side then your hands will break in pieces. And always do something that you are able to endure back Mara's puppet" Eugene says while twisting harshly Mara's lawyer's hand and he hisses in pain.
Then he chases Mara. She isn't in her senses and walks straight like a body without a soul. Eugene comes to her drivers but finds out she didn't use the car. Eugene follows her and starts to get worried. Mara comes to the beach where many people see her walking like a dead person. Then she goes directly into the water and drowns herself for 5 minutes. Everyone on the beach screams to stop her but she doesn't. Everyone gathered around to see where she had gone. Many people dived in to find her but failed. Eugene also came to the spot but still didn't find Mara.
Mara closes her eyes and has a flashback of her painful birthday. Where her dad kept saying she was a psycho.
"Your daughter is mentally ill and she will make me like her. Mental, psycho…! Tell me where mom hides the money baby doll?" Mr.Penelope said while pushing Mara on the floor.
Mara opened her eyes and suddenly all the cream of cake was wiped from her face. She gets up and takes a heavy breath. Then without seeing anyone she takes a cab and leaves to her house.
"What a psycho she is? She spoke a hell out of us and acted like nothing happened" a random guy says who keeps searching her in the water.
Eugene hears the conversation and sees Mara leaving.
"What the hell! What a freak! She came here to wash her face. Oh My God! Now this is insane. Is she a psycho or what? Unbelievable!!" Eugene says and shakes his head in disbelief.
Mara comes home and locks herself in her room. She closes all the lights and sits on the floor in the dark having anxiety and panic attacks. She kept shaking her body and crying.
On the other side, Eugene, Lucas and Athena as usual gathered around E.A.L point. He told them everything and seemed upset. While Lucas and Athena laugh at him.
"Why are you both laughing?" Eugene asks.
"Who went to the middle of the ocean just to wash their face? I mean like seriously" Eugene says in disbelief.
"You have fun when Mara will wash/beat you like waves" Lucas says while laughing.
"Why? What did I do?" Eugene asks.
"Who will put cake on their boss's face? When will you understand she isn't your friend or bestfriend she is your boss?" Athena says in disbelief.
Then Lucas gets up and about to go and Eugene asks "Where??"
"To meet someone. See you already find your hot chic now it's my turn, right?" Lucas says and leaves.
"I'll tell your mom and then she will teach you a good lesson" Eugene shouts but Lucas didn't listen to him.
"So I did too much, right?" Eugene asks and Athena nods.
"Now what??" Eugene asks.
"Nothing new job new boss" Athena says and Eugene sighs.
Then Eugene lay down on Athena's lap and closed his eyes while Athena had butterflies in her stomach because of Eugene's sudden action.
"Boo! Why don't all girls like you?" Eugene says.
"When I'm with you I'm being myself while when I was with Mara it feels like pressure and my head explodes anytime" Eugene says and Athena chuckles.
"When I'm with you it feels like home but with Mara it feels like I came into a haunted house" Eugene says and spills out his heart in front of Athena.
"Why do you have to feel like home with her? I meant stop this, treat her like your boss and tomorrow will apologize to her which you mean by your heart, okay?" Athena says.
"You are so good and solve everything so please this time also solve this" Eugene says.
"Listen it's something, you have to solve, just say sorry and everything is okay" Athena says.
"Ath…!! Your mom calling you" Darny shouts.
"Coming aunt Darny" Athena shouted back.
"I'll leave" Athena says and gets up while placing Eugene's head down.
But Eugene held her wrist "Why are you going home? Why didn't you always live here with me?" Eugene says while closing his eyes.
"Soon…!!" Athena mumbled.
"What??" Eugene asks while opening his eyes.
"I said sleep soon so you will not be late for your office" Athena says while scratching her nape.
"I'll come to wake you up like an alarm clock" Athena added and they bid their goodbyes and she leaves.
The next day, Mr.Penelope sings a birthday song for Mara in a drunken state. He keeps blabbering and laughing on it's own.
"Stop it! Your dear's birthday was yesterday. You keep celebrating her birthday at night and keep drinking alcohol" Emma, the second wife of Mr.Penelope says in anger.
"It's my baby's birthday," Mr.Penelope says.
"I don't know why I married you? That's for you" Emma says while throwing a dog's belt in front of Mr.Penelope.
"What's that babe?" Mr.Penelope asks.
"It's a dog's belt for you. Because you are nothing but a pet dog for your wife. She caged you with money's belt on your neck. And your dear daughter whose birthday you are celebrating yet made dogs bite you" Emma says while making fun of him and he becomes angrier.
"You know what a dog's nature is? He is loyal to friends and never leaves his enemies" Mr.Penelope stabbing the cake in anger.
"Who will have the belt, who will have the chain you will see soon" Mr.Penelope says while holding the dog's belt.
"Huh! You are poor and all your money is with Mara Penelope. She didn't even use your name as her surname" Emma says.
"I will steal her everything just like she did and you know why I love you because you and I are the same. We are basta#ds!" Mr.Penelope says.
"You are impossible," Emma says while smirking.
Then the doorbell rings and Emma goes to open the door. And angry to see Izabella there.
"Peni! It's your wife Izabella" she says fiercely and leaves upstairs.
Mr.Penelope threatens Izabella and she gives him her diamond necklace…!!
