ANGEL IN NEW DRESS
CHAPTER 41. RIVAL

‘Hahaha…..Noahs…..Noah! Just getting interesting! You really want to have dinner with me! Look at your woman's face that has been pouting since earlier.’ whispered Anneke's heart as she glanced back and glanced at Shelly.

Right now the two's gazes were intertwined, Shelly glaring at Anneke feeling displeased that an excited Noah was bidding on the painting.

Then Anneke turned to Abner, “Can I bid my own painting?” tanyakanya.

“Of course Miss! Why?” ask Abner. Then he thought that Anneke was not really with the offer to accompany dinner. “Nona can make a quote, it can also raise the value and interest of people to buy painting miss.”

“Ehm, so huh? All right, I'll bid for my own painting! Let's see who will give the highest offer after this.” said Anneke back excited.

Abner smiled, “I know if Miss is worried that Mr. Noah won. Then Miss must fulfill the promise to accompany her to dinner. This can also be as an opening for the next miss plan.” Abner gave Anneke advice.

“I'm not interested, Abner! If someone else wins the painting, I don't mind.”

“Haha....miss Anne! Look at that middle-aged man he raised his bid beyond Lord Noah!”

Anneke turned her eyes toward the direction Abner had pointed. It looked like a middle-aged man who kept raising his number every time Noah made his offer.

“Ten billion!” the voice of a woman broke the ongoing fierce fight. Anneke raised her number, she even stood up from her seat so as to reveal her smooth back.

The back of the dress has an open model to the waist. Exposing his smooth back, Noah's eyes stared at Anneke's back.

He swallowed his saliva, for some reason his body reacted to just looking at that smooth white back. Shelly who was beside Noah immediately held the man's arm, he looked at the direction of Noah's eyes. This makes him unhappy! During this time only she had been the center of Noah's attention even though so many women were flirting with the man.

‘Damn it! Where did that woman come from? Why is she so beautiful? Since then Noah has been stealing glances at the woman!’ Shelly was upset in her heart.

She feels jealous of Anneke who has above average beauty and is arguably perfect. Especially supported by her slim and sexy body shape.

“Noah, don't bid anymore! Don't you want to get that necklace? Why are you bidding on paintings?” Shelly sounded a little protesting. But Noah ignored her and did not even look at her, which made Shelly even more upset and angry. But Shelly doesn't dare to act more or she'll make Noah angry.

“Eleven billion rupiahs!” Noah made an offer.

“Thirteen billion!” a man's voice made Noah frown. He turned his eyes towards the sound. He saw a man who was the same age as him, a handsome face with a face that looked friendly and smiling. Noah again scrunched his forehead trying to remember who the man was.

“Fourteen!” Noah is back. He will not let anyone else win.

“Ahhhh! Looks like the men are competing!” said an invited guest.

“They didn't bid for the painting but the painter! They really spend money just for dinner!” the other sahut.

“The auction this time is really interesting! Who will be the winner.”

While Anneke is starting to get unsettled, she accidentally tells him the crazy idea is to attract the attention of Noah who will struggle to get the painting to have dinner with him.

Anneke realized that Noah had been watching her since she was on stage. And this is Anneke's way of draining Noah's money!

‘Aihhhh why won't Noah give up too? It seemed like he was getting more determined to get the painting! Ow hell! Why is it like this? I don't want to have dinner with him or with anyone else! I have to get my painting back.’ thought Anneke.

Get the guests back to whispering.

“It looks like the painter is not willing to let go of his painting for others.”

“Not so, rather he did not want to accompany the men to dinner!”

“Hahahaha....yes I think so too! That woman is so smart! First he bid his own paintings at a high price so others would raise their bids! They think the woman really wants to accompany them to dinner!” the laughter of a middle-aged man sounded.

“It's a very interesting show!” exclaim another man. While the women who were present there began to feel jealous of Anneke who is now the center of attention and struggle of the men.

“Abner! Do somethin! I don't want anyone to win!” anneke whispered to Abner.

“There is nothing we can do if it is already at this stage miss! You can't take that painting! I'd better bargain again, that's all you can do.”

“But look at the two men raising their bid! How could I possibly spend that much money to stop them?”

“There is no other way, miss! Only you can handle it yourself! Besides why did the lady suddenly get such an idea? Now miss is even a dilemma!”

“Abner! Why do you talk so much? You're my assistant you should know what to do!”

“Let's just say miss. Let the two men compete with each other! If that guy wins, let's just say that miss is on a blind date to lure Mr Noah!” abner said again.

“Well, what if Noah won?” ask Anneke annoyed.

“Isn't he your ex-husband? Go to dinner with him and stay normal.” Abner did not provide the solution Anneke wanted.

“Are you looking for a way to trap me?” ask Anneke suddenly.

“Hah? What?”

“You're planning to set me up, aren't you? Is this your grandmother's idea or your idea?”

“Not....not so miss! I just want you to be realistic! Both are not bad at all? Or do you-don't miss want to have dinner with the middle-aged man?”

Anneke also threw her gaze towards the middle-aged man Abner had said just now. For some reason Anneke suddenly smiled holding back a laugh. It made Abner look at him seriously for anxiety. “Is there anything funny miss? Why are you smiling to yourself?”

“Shut! I'm not giving you permission to talk right now! You didn't give me a solution at all! Huh! No use!” he cursed with annoyance.

“Twenty billion!” Noah raised his hand again. But the man who became his rival remained silent and did not give his offer.

Noah was satisfied that he was confident of getting the painting and it seemed that the rival man was not rich enough to spend that much money on a painting.

“Twenty billion one! Twenty billion two! Twenty billion three!” shouted the host. “This painting was won by Mr Noah Arsenio! Congratulations to Mr. Noah and thank you for your humility and contribution.”

While Noah was proud of himself, he stared at the rival man cynically.4
