Author's Note:
This is my first time writing in this genre. This is very special to my heart because I came out while writing this story. I finally became content with myself. And, in this story, I tried to create a world where the characters' problem was not being with a woman.
And, I write mostly on my phone. I also don't know any editor. There could be some mistakes for which I apologize.

CHAPTER 1:
Alexa enters through the glass revolving door into the most lavish hotel in China. She came to Taiwan for a fresh start and this seems like much like it. They have come to China for a conference. She is already loving her new life.
"Scott, hurry!" Her colleague calls her from across the lobby. She hurries along to catch up.
"So, is everyone from the company is here?" She asks curiously and a bit nervously. She is a scientist in the company run by scientists.
"Obviously!" her colleague, Lin, replies with a sigh.
Over the next 30 minutes, they meet a lot of people from other departments. Then Lin points her to a lady entering through the door with four people around.
"You see her? She is Maggie Chan; the CEO. Must be worth a billion dollars," Lin comments in a low voice.
"She is gorgeous!" Alexa feels an arrow shot through her heart.
"I tell you that she is brilliant and rich and you say she is gorgeous?" Lin comments with exasperation.
Alexa shrugs as usual.
After the party is almost over, she feels drained and desperately in need of a drink. She helps herself to the bar and drinks a glass of champagne in one gulp.
"That's how I feel," someone comments from behind. She turns around being a bit annoyed and surprised by seeing Maggie Chan. She feels weak on the knees and in loss of words.
Maggie breaks the awkward silence. "Are you new at the company?" she asks.
"Yes. joined about a week ago," Alexa replies with a voice she doesn't quite recognize.
"So, you might have heard about me?" Maggie asks with a smile.
"Of course. I know who you are. I am Alexa Scott," she feels so awkward right now even though she is a pretty confident woman.
"Welcome to the company, Dr. Scott," Maggie says with her hand reaching out for a handshake. The touch of her hand sends electricity all over Alexa's body. Maggie takes the seat beside Alexa. There is something calm yet warm about her.
Then they casually talk about Alexa and where she is from. Maggie doesn't share much. Two men come near and seeing them Maggie gets up from her seat.
"Excuse me. I need to get this," she says.
"Sure!" Alexa replies.
"I guess I will see you around," Maggie says before leaving and Alexa wonders if that is a figure of speech. She hates being herself now. What is wrong with her?
Alexa goes to her room late at night. As soon as she closes her eyes, she sees a pair of dark black eyes staring at her as if she is exposed. Her body starts twitching and her hands travel through her belly to her mound.
The conference begins the next morning. Alexa is a bit distracted from last night; how the thought of Maggie gave her an orgasm so good. Her eyes search for Maggie. But, her mind wonders if Maggie will remember an employee. Lin asks several times what is wrong and she blames exhaustion. The fact is, she does not even know what is wrong with her.
She somehow goes through the day distracted. After dinner, her colleagues drag her to the bar to celebrate whatever the reason they are celebrating. She feels down and will feel down no matter what. She cannot quite understand what is wrong with her. She concentrates on getting drunk and let the world be on its own. She starts feeling lightheaded.
"I think you should call it a night," Lin says.
"I think you are right," she agrees.
It is not wise to get crazy drunk while being surrounded by your bosses. She gets up from the seat and the universe smacks on her face. She falls on her seat.
"Yo drunkard, do you need help?" one of the colleagues asks jokingly.
"No I am fine," she answers with her hands making a stop sign. She shakily gets up from her seat again determined to make it back to the room.
She gets out of the elevator on her floor. She is not fully drunk, but she is drunk. The corridor is empty for which she is grateful. She struggles to open her door.
"Do you need some help with that?" a familiar voice asks from behind.
She turns around and it is Maggie. Alexa feels happy to see her but afraid as she doesn't want to seem weird in front of her. Maggie asks something again but Alexa zones out. She starts noticing Maggie's features; how her eyes spark up when she smiles; how gorgeous her every bit is. Alexa knows that she is attracted to Maggie. She has never felt like this before. Funny how they know nothing about each other. Maggie asks something again.
"You know what?" Alexa says with stepping closer. She holds Maggie's face with her right hand forcing it to open up and kisses her as passionately as she could. Her tongue is very invasive. But when she finds no response from the opposite side, she breaks it. She sees Maggie's surprised or shocked face; she cannot decide. Alexa gets red in embarrassment. She cannot look at Maggie. Suddenly Maggie pushes her pinning her against the wall. And this time Maggie reciprocates her. It helps that they are almost of the same height. Maggie feels Alexa's weight against her. Alexa passes out on her.
Alexa wakes up with a jolt the next morning. She notices that she in her room and her clothes have been changed. She wonders if Maggie put her on her bed. Maggie! Shit, she remembers kissing her and passing out on her. She completely forgot about Maggie returning the favor. She sits on the bed cursing herself.
"Why the fuck did you have to do it? Now you are a fool without a job!" She curses herself loudly.
CHAPTER 2:
Alexa hops on the bus along with Lin on their way to the airport.
"You have been acting strange," Lin says.
"Huh?" Alexa turns her attention to her.
"What is wrong?" Lin demands.
Alexa wants to say that she has a huge crush on the CEO and for it she might lose her job. But instead, she says, "it's nothing. Enjoying the view."
Everything goes back to normal the next day. She hasn't been informed of her termination yet. So that's a good sign. She tries to get Maggie out of her head and concentrate on her work. But it is in vain. Now she knows that she is attracted to her. But it seems like a good choice to avoid her after Alexa made a fool of herself. So if she sees Maggie from a distance, she runs in the opposite direction. She cannot lose this job now. After all, she has been through, she cannot go back to hellhole she came from.
Two more days pass and she hears nothing about losing her job. Still, the night of the conference spins like a movie in her; the part that she can remember.
She tries to keep herself busy all morning. She is deeply focused on her monitor when she hears the sound of heels in front of her. She looks up and her jaw drops.
"Hi," Maggie says with a flirtatious smile.
Alexa stands up from her seat shocked. Mack, her boss, comes running.
"And, she is Dr. Alexa Scott. She is new but very talented so we flew her over here," Mack introduces Alexa to Maggie. He then turns to Alexa, "You know Miss Maggie Chan, the CEO," Mack says. He seems nervous like a schoolboy in the principal's office. Someone calls Mack and he excuses himself to attend the matter.
