LOGIN" Are we now official?" Susan chuckle and release herself from the hug. She looked straight into his eyes with all seriousness.
" No! I have to think about it.". Jerry nearly fell from the reply, he thought he has been forgiven. Why the sudden change of heart or was it because he confessed his sins. He needed to do that so they don't start there relationship with lies. 'What am I to do now?' He decided to respect her and accept everything maybe that is his punishment for what he has done to her. He knows it must have caused her a lot of trauma.
" OK! I will give you time just don't ...never mind take all the time you want."
He said with melancholy. Susan was trying so hard to suppress her laughter, she can not imagine the terrify CEO Jerry feared by everyone to be behaving like a kid that was denied his favorite toy.
Susan burst into laughter, she can not suppress it any more. Jerry look at her not understanding what is going on. " Did I say something funny?!" He asked glaring at her.
" Nothing .." she shook her head still laughing.
" .....but you look so adorable with that expression." He did not reply her he just smile at her. He was happy that she is happy right now, he wish to know what is going on in that head of hers.
" Are you serious about what you said?" He asked her when he noticed she is in happy mood. " Do you really need to know my answer?"
He nod as a reply. " OK! Yes but...." He did not wait for her ' but' he jumped up in triumph, dancing at his victory his heart was filled with great joy finally his lost rib has been found.
Susan look at him in amusement, she was surprised at the way his mood changed from sulking to happy. ' Truth be told she is happy too, not because of revenge but because she want to give herself another chance. She can not shut everyone out of her life just because of someone useless.
Thou she did not agree because he want to use him for revenge but because she saw his determinations compound with everything she saw here today it shows he care and love her. She smile when she recalled what Cathy told her before during their girls talk.

Two weeks earlier
After eating to there fill the two ladies cleared the table and went to the kitchen to do the dishes. " Susan can I ask you a question?"
" Yeah! go ahead." " Why don't you give him a chance?" Susan knows the Him he ius referring to, she must not be told twice before she knows she is talking about Jerry. She sigh rinse her hand and dry it with napkin. " I don't have time for that now, I want to focus on my life." Cathy chuckled she turn to face her.
" Really? you want to focus on your life?"
" Yes! my life and solely my life!" She answered looking at her fingers. " My dear what am talking about is also part of your life. If you don't know, am telling you now. "
" Can we talk about something else?"
" No my dear, we have to settle this." Susan heave a frustration sigh before the two of them sat on the chair in the kitchen.
" Susan,tell me which part of your life do you want to focus on? Is it your love life? Your revenge? Is it to stabilize yourself or your mother? Tell me which one do you want to ficus on....". Susan was state when she mentioned all this, truth be told this are all she has in her bucket list. She has not mention it to anyone, how did she know about all this?.
" I don't know what you are talking about." She said standing up from her seat to leave the kitchen .
" I want you to know that there are three things you need to be truly happy in this world : something to do, someone to love and something to hope for. Meaning ' Live, love and be happy with your life'. Susan paused with out moving making the word she heard to sink into her head. Cathy walked pass her leaving her all alone.
She didn't know how she enter her room, she sat on the bed thinking about what Cathy has said. She need to be happy maybe she will just give this a chance now that she also have a second chance to live. She knows very well that Jerry love her very well and she also feels something for him but without revenge she did not know if she will be able to live a truly happy live.

She did not allow her fear to surface but she steel her hear and threaten in the driver.
