Queen, who had already seen Liam, couldn't help but nod to that. There was something about Liam that made people take a liking to him. Perhaps to people like them who were stronger-headed and used to facing foxes day and night. It was quite refreshing to meet someone like that.
Sonia looked at Tom and said with a smile, "he is part of the entertainment industry. As the CEO of an entertainment agency, perhaps you might have never met him before. After all, he is a small fry."
Tom was surprised when he heard that. His relationship with Sonia was one of the complicated ones but perhaps they knew each other too well, it wasn't as complicated as he expected when they finally divorced and went their separate ways.
When Sonia was pursuing her food and beverage industry, he got interested in investing. After all, being by her side, he understood the importance of self-reliance. As years passed, he ended up opening an entertainment agency as well. Although it's not as big as other agencies, it was still a small giant of its own, creating waves in the industry.
That wasn't the only business he had, since he invested in several industries. Just that, his second wife, Chantel had an interest in the industry. That's why he ended up investing.
"Really? I hope to meet with him one day."
"Hehe, soon. I shall host a dinner. You will be able to meet him."
"How did you meet?"
"Hehe, at a club and it was love at first sight," she shamelessly responded, and Queen rolled her eyes inwardly at hearing such an answer.
The others were quite surprised when they heard that to be honest but at the same time, they felt that it made more sense. Otherwise, why would she marry someone so quickly like that when they haven't even heard about her dating anyone a few days ago.
"My friend, you are very swift!"
Sonia twirled a glass of wine, a smirk on her face. "If I am are slow, someone might snatch him away from me and that wouldn't be nice."
"When do you plan to hold the wedding reception?"
Sonia pondered as she listened to that, and after a moment, she responded, "I will get back to you after discussing the matter with him. Moreover, we haven't met each other's families or friends. So let's wait after that."
It wasn't like they had known each other for ages. It's been three days at most.
The friends chatted, and the room was filled with harmony.
After the matter of Sonia's marriage passed, they started talking about business. After all, they liked sharing news and information whenever they met.
"I have recently invested in an ongoing show, Masked Singer. It's showing a lot of progress, and I have a spot for a recommendation. Since Sonia, your husband, is in the industry, do you want him to join? Or he has other plans?"
"Um …. Should I invest in it as well?"
"If you want, then yep. It will be helpful."
Sonia was tempted when she heard that. She wanted to pave the way for Liam at any cost. After a bit of thinking, she agreed to Tom's offer.
"Sure, I will have his agent contact you for more details. Besides, if I can invest, then there is no need for you to use your recommendation. You can use it on your own stars," she said, not wanting to owe him a favor.
Tom didn't object but naturally agreed and gave her the contact information of the Masked Singer director.
After that, he also talked about his investment in the Your Beautiful Voice and that made Sonia eyes glow red.
"Tom, have you put your investment in that show already?"
"Not yet, why?" Tom asked cautiously, sensing that Sonia's tone didn't sound too well, and others noticed that as well.
Sonia snickered as she recalled how the crew of this show nearly sent her husband to his death with the way they treated him.
She naturally explained the matter.
"When I met my husband, he was …. In fact, if I weren't there, he might have suffered a stroke or be dead right now. He was supposed to be on that show, but those people, so shameless, they made him suffer.
I don't like the show and my husband's enemies are on that show as well. If possible, can you not invest in the show? Because I do plan to make a few lives so miserable and that might be bad for your money," when it came to her friends, she didn't like beating around the bush. So, she truthfully revealed the matter.
Attacking her friends' bowls wasn't something that she liked doing.
When others heard that, they didn't look so well. Although Sonia didn't explain in detail. They could already picture a tearjerker of a story.
When people in that industry aren't treated well, especially at a club, it is usually due to unspoken favors. Perhaps they tried to drug him, but failed. As a result, Sonia came across him, fell for him at first sight and used her authority to marry the young man.
Anyway, their friend was never wrong and since the husband was older, he wasn't young that everyone could say that he was forced. He was a willing participant and that's all that matters.
So, when Tom heard that, despite his desire to invest in that money-making project, giving face to his friend was of greater importance.
"Sure, I will not invest in it. When you need help dealing with them, just give me a call. I will help you with everything that I can."
Sonia beamed when she heard that, feeling grateful.
After a short talk, summarizing that topic, Talent brought up an interesting topic.
"Guys, have you heard about this famous secret club called CIRCLE?" Her eyes glowed as she asked them about that.
"CIRCLE? What's that?"
"This club is called CIRCLE. You can't be talking about here, right?"
Talent rolled her eyes as she looked at her friends, finding their answers so hilarious and way off topic but still responded, elaborating more on the matter.
"It's not like this kind of club, but the social club. You know, like the sports club we are all in," she exasperatedly said first before expanding, "So, I have been active on this forum for like three years now. after his death, I struggled, you know and thankfully you were there for me. However, I felt like I needed more comforting and so I joined an online forum where victims of circumstances and those grieving gathers and just express themselves.
Thanks to that forum, alongside your comfort, I managed to heal quickly. At the same time, I took it upon myself to help others who were struggling. It's a very positive space with people from all over the world."
Listening to her speak, the friends could already picture what it was like.
"Anyway, fast-forward to a few days ago, I suddenly received a message from the administrator who sent me a link and told me that I was lucky and had been chosen," with excitement in her tone, Talent continued to narrate her story, and everyone was listening attentively.
