All Chapters of Owned by a Rich Man: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"Here's your bill, ladies," A waiter approached a group of woman's table and handed them their bill.Esther turned to him and motioned to Anika."Give it to our Madame, please," Esther said in a playful tone.Anika, who was only playing with her coffee, looked up. Her coffee was bitter, and she didn't quite like it.And hearing Esther's words, she dazedly accepted the bill from the waiter and saw him waiting beside her.She became flustered and clumsily took her phone out. She didn't know she was the one going to pay, and this was the first time she had paid by herself.Leon taught her to pay bills by scanning her account on her phone, in case of emergency. Luckily, Anika remembered it and held her phone out to the waiter.The waiter did not delay and scanned her account smoothly."Thank you for your payment," The waiter bowed and left."Wow, thanks for treating us, Anika!" Elise said cheerfully, giving a secret glance at Esther and Dane.The other women smirked and also turned to Ani

Leaving Leon's study, Esther went straight to the receiving hall. There she already saw Anika."Esther!" Anika happily waved at her.Esther tried to fix her expression and smiled back.Anika pulled her to sit and chat."Nanny made some delicious pastries. Try them!" She offered.Esther took one nonchalantly and ate some. Her mind was still on the conversation she just had earlier.Finally, she can't help but turn to Anika."Did you... say anything to your husband? About you giving me stuff," She asked hesitantly.Anika heard this and nodded innocently."Yes, I did,"Esther almost rolled her eyes at this. She sighed and tried to calm her voice."He got angry, right?" She then asked.This made Anika think for a while, glancing uneasily at Esther, but still nodded again.Esther made her expression pitiful and smiled sadly."Well, he would really be angry. I am just a nobody for you to give things to," Esther said in a melancholic voice.Anika hurriedly took her hand."No, you're not a no

At the end of the event, the guests stood outside, seeing off the married couple. They were by the pier where a large and luxurious yacht was waiting afloat.Leon was talking with a few important people, and Anika only now had the time to talk to Esther. She was very busy all day, and she hardly talked to her friend."Esther, did you have fun? Did you eat well?" Anika asked with concern.Esther was still dazzled by everything. And seeing Anika approach her, she was still shrouded by a light as someone she couldn't reach. This made her feel utterly uncomfortable.She could only smile stiffly and nod."Everything was good. Congratulations." Her reluctant voice responded.Anika was still on cloud nine and could not feel the disgruntled tone of Esther. No one could spoil her mood tonight as this was the day of her dreams.So, she only hugged Esther happily."Well, see you soon. Be careful and take care!" She bid goodbye and went back to Leon, who was already waiting for her.Leon held his

"Can I touch your abs?" Her sweet and soft voice was hooking on Leon's heartstrings.He raised a brow and gritted his teeth.Really testing his patience...He gave a small nod, calming his expression, still leisurely lying down.Anika saw him acquiesce and happily poked his tight abdomen. Then slowly, it was her palm, quietly feeling the scorching skin before her.The fair softness of her hand was a great contrast to his dark and hard muscles, the visual allure was blinding.Leon was trying to calm himself down, but his abdomen couldn't help but tighten every time the cold fingers grazed his skin."Like it?" His voice obviously became deeper as he asked. His raised hand that pillowed his head fisted.Anika's palm scratched Leon's abs, and she leaned forward, her head lying on his chest. She looked up with her doe and clean eyes."So hard.." She whispered. Her innocent expression was a great contrast to what she was doing and saying.Leon finally couldn't bare it anymore and grabbed he

In the following days, Esther continued to come to the Albrecht mansion. She would cook meals, bring flowers and show her bookish attitude.During meals with Leon, she would deliberately bring up books that Leon reads, which she found out on the internet. She searched hard for Leon's likes and hobbies.Although Leon doesn't talk much every time, she brings up a common topic, but seeing him acknowledge what she knows is a plus for her."Oh, we have the same tastes in books, Mr. Albrecht," Esther said in a gentle voice.She then looked kindly at Anika. And as of comfort, she smiled softly at her."Anika doesn't know anything about this, but it's fine. You'll find your likes someday," She said to her magnanimously.Anika only smiled, but the hand below the table softly pinched her skirt. Eventually, her grin turned to an embarrassed smile.Seeing the other's insecurity, Esther smiled more gently. It looks like her plan is going in the right direction.Even someone as stupid as Anika coul
