Running into you (gxg)

Chapter 8: Gold digger

Lilly had just left after interrogating them for an hour. Both girls lay on the bed content with each other's company. Then, Alexa slowly reached and planted a soft kiss on Maggie's lips. They both smiled in the kiss.

"I've to go," Alexa said softly.
"Oh, ok," Maggie said, a little sad, which made Alexa smile. She planted another kiss on Maggie's temple before getting up.
"So, we never talked," Maggie propped herself on the elbow.
"Oh yes," Alexa turned to face her.
"So... I think we should...." Before Alexa cut her off, Maggie started saying, "Keep this between ourselves?"
"I mean, for now. I don't know what we are," Maggie said, taking Alexa's hand in between hers.
"So, we can see other people?" Alexa raised an eyebrow.
"What... no! I mean, if you want to..." Maggie said, a little heartbroken.
Alexa gave a belly-bending laugh, "Relax. I'm only messing with you." Then, she bent down and kissed her, which put Maggie at ease.
"I've to go. Thank you for the incredible date," Alexa was dressed at this point.
"I'll walk you out," Maggie got up lazily to walk her out.

It had been 20 minutes since Alexa left. Maggie was worried. So, she asked Lilly to come over.
"Well, hello to you!" Jia, Maggie's once frenemy and now best friend, came along.
"Hello! What are you doing here?" Maggie jumped in her arms.
"She was coming to visit you but stopped at my place to say hello, and I stopped her," Lilly said. She was wearing a glass with her hair in a bun.
"Why?" Maggie asked.
"You know the obvious!" Lilly just rolled her eyes. Jia just grinned, which meant Lilly had told her everything.
"Ok, I want to know everything!" Jia announced.
"I like her!" Maggie said frustratedly.
"Why the dramatic yell?" Lilly asked.
"I don't know. What if she's in for the CEO, not me?" Maggie said quietly. Alexa's comment about seeing other people was messing with her mind.
"A gold digger?" Jia asked.
No one said anything.
"Let's stalk her!" The brilliant idea from Jia's mind. Well, they didn't have a better idea, so they agreed.
"She's a very private person. All of her posts are either nature or her kickboxing sessions," Lilly said.
"Did you know that she is a kickboxer?" Jia asked Maggie.
"This is news to me," Maggie said quietly, and she wondered what else she didn't know. But, of course, her life being open to the public didn't help either.
"Alright, I will try to seduce her," Jia commented.
"What!!" Both Maggie and Lilly yelled in shock.
"Chill, I'm not that girl anymore. But let's see my friend if she's after your money," Jia patted Maggie's back.
"No! How will Alexa feel if she ever finds out?" Lilly tried to reason with them.
After a pause, Maggie said, "Do it."

(End of flashback)

Alexa felt giddy with glee ever since she came home from Maggie's place. It's hard to hide her big smile even at work.
"Someone is happy," Lin raised an eyebrow.
"I need to tell you something," Alexa felt guilty not telling her sooner. So they sat down at a secluded place, and she told her dear friend about Maggie. Lin was surprised but was smiling.
"Well, I would say about time!" Lin grinned.
"Sorry for not telling you sooner," Alexa said.
"It's ok. I get it. It's new. You don't know anything," Lin smiled reassuringly, which put Alexa's heart at ease.

After a while, Alexa was back at her workstation. She was getting a headache; she didn't know why. It was probably that time of the month. Then, someone called her name, which caught her attention. She looked up to see Mack, The head of the department. Beside him was a lady about the same age as Maggie.

"Alexa, this is Ms. Jia Huang, daughter of the co-founder of our company Mr. Huang," he introduced them.
"Hello, I'm Alexa Scott. Nice to meet you," they shook hands.
"Mack, can I stay here for a bit? I'm tired," Ms. Huang told him, and he nodded and left.
"So, Alexa tell me about yourself," she asked.
"There's nothing much to tell. I got on the plane when I got this job," Alexa smiled politely. Her head was throbbing at this point. Then Ms Huang made a lot of small talk. Apparently, she was more prosperous than Maggie because Maggie did a lot of charity without using her name. That sounded like her girl - Alexa smiled fondly at the thought.
"Hello, Alexa to earth!" Ms. Huang waved before her eyes, and she looked up to see half of her boobs popping out. She quickly averted her eyes. They did some more small talk, but Ms Huang seemed a little frustrated, and Alexa had no idea why. Ms Huang kept looking at the door as if she was waiting for someone. Alexa didn't bother asking as her head was killing her at that point.
