Chapter 4 Toxic Friends

"I heard you own a forty percent stake in a gold mining company in Africa."

"Oh, the mine?" a white-haired woman took another card and then analyzed her card. "Yes, I will continue to increase my shares. The more shares I have, the more comfortable my life will be. I don't want to live with a difficult and tiring job, too much capital but the results are not much different from the capital used."

"Wow! I can imagine how many shares Jessica has in the future," said Kimberly. "I only focus on the entertainment world, now I officially have my own agency. I will release a song and make a film with actor Mike Kenderpaul."

That's the content of the conversation of the holders of the hundreds of billions of dollars. They look very relaxed to show off their treasures sarcastically.

"How about you, Hilda?"

A woman with a straight middle parted hair brown mixed with blonde greeted Hilda with a question that led to a discussion that offended Hilda's emotions.

Hilda snorted with laughter, she then put one card on the table. Bad combination of cards earlier.

Maybe because Hilda was in a bad mood, she was out of luck this time.

"As usual," said Hilda. She then took another card.

If you don't look closely, the woman doesn't change her expression at all. What actually happened was that the woman was smiling lopsidedly, very happy to hear that there was no significant improvement in Hilda's life achievements.

In addition to being a place to show off each other's treasures, this association is also a place to bring each other down. If they have the slightest deficiency, it means they are nearing the time to be expelled from the association.

Then why does the association exist? why do they want to get to know each other and be in the same group when they end up just trying to bring each other down? wouldn't that be of no use to them at all? even they could suffer losses because of it.

Of course there are other factors, external factors that influence their being within the group.

Those who are members of the group are also the wives of men who are also conglomerate entrepreneurs in the world. Indirectly, these women have partners who compete with their friends' partners.

Friend and foe, or could you say their enemy's friend?

I don't know, it's too complicated.

"You have to be more willing to take risks, Hilda. You will be left behind if you continue to indulge without understanding what business is. Business is fun when you are good at it, but business can be a scary thing if you are too busy with other things," said the woman. Say her name is Jane.

"Oh, you're absolutely right. I who don't know anything really need to practice understanding business. Not like you who have been in the business world for years," said Hilda. Sounds like a compliment, but it's sarcasm.

Not Hilda if there is no sarcasm in her speech.

It's very beautiful, nobody know what Richard has taught so that this woman who likes to wear red high heels likes to say sarcastically.

Sarcasm is a form of sanity that is embellished using art, (Hilda Amethisa).

Jena smiled lopsidedly, her canine teeth showing from the corner of her lips. The woman with piercing eyes and thick sexy lips leaned against the armrest on the plush leopard-patterned sofa. Even the price of the sofa she was sitting on was no less than tens of thousands of dollars worth.

"What have you accomplished recently, Hilda?" asked Jane, throwing away another card. She seemed pleased with her good card arrangement.

Hilda showed her cards again, much worse than the first card she put on the table. Now she is a vessel for bullying her friends.

Smiling slanted engraved on the faces of her friends. Although some of them look innocent and adorable like Kimberly, but in fact she is not much different from the others. Very cunning and evil, not friendly at all.

Hilda took the fourth card. The flop card that Hilda got was also not good. Caroline, Hilda's friend, who this time was in charge of distributing cards, again gave Hilda a card that was not well-ordered.

Different numbers, with different card symbols. Diamon and spade, whether intentional or not, but Hilda was still annoyed with the arrangement of cards she got.

"Let's place our bets," said Jane.

Their card game bets are unique, they don't prioritize chips or money. Even if it is used, it is only a point determination. They don't need profit in the form of wealth, they already have too much money.

Usually they will give a bet in the form of a challenge that must be done, even if the prize they get when they win is in the form of wealth, they will risk the assets they have.

Hilda is a new member here, she just joined the group. She still didn't know for sure what kind of craziness the people in this group were doing. However, that doesn't mean she doesn't know anything about it.

"If I win, then I want a fifty percent stake in the company," said Caroline.

"If I win, I want you to provide sponsorship for my agency, along with all the films and record labels produced by my agency this year," said Kimberly.

"If I win, then I will manage your activities. Whatever I order, you must do it," said Jessica. "Whether you're having sex with Justin Timberluke or making out with Zayn Melik I don't care. You have to come to me at that moment."

Hilda's eyebrows rose, even Hilda's fingers trembled when she heard Jessica's request. Hilda reacted when she heard this one request, it sounded simple but actually it had a huge impact on all of them here. This is more important than just getting shares, sponsors, or cash injections for the company.
