Chloe lay in bed, squinting at her phone. She had just sent LunaSenshi some mood-board photos to prove she was proactive and understood her style and now she had time to dig into things. What was going on with Amy? She was so rude and Chloe knew she should get over it – everyone had to deal with trolls – but it was just so weird. She was LunaSenshi's sister. She could easily get a few thousand followers by association with Singapore's best Influencer and she had absolutely no social media presence.

"I wouldn't be so stupid if I were her," Chloe murmured to herself as she scrolled through the list of people Luna was following. Nothing, although Chloe's heart skipped a beat when she saw, again, that she was one of the two thousand people Luna was following. Right above the account that posted about community cats!

Perhaps she had a finsta account. Fake accounts, where people claimed that they could be their 'real selves' were so popular nowadays. All the celebrities had one, or ten, and it was a great day for tea whenever a finsta was exposed and the celebrity's true thoughts revealed. Personally, Chloe didn't go for such nonsense. Her life was already so starved for content that she wasn't going to split it into two accounts.

Chloe tapped back to Luna's profile and opened up the family picture, trying to see if there were any new comments that might be from Amy.

Why you hide your sister's face? Got deformity?

I love you so much, Luna, I'm going to get a tattoo of you as soon as the shops are open again!!

I SEE PHOTOSHOP EVIDENCE

My daughter wants to be called by her username too! Please consider using your real name!

It's so nice that your family can eat together! My mom is an essential worker too and we never see her ): It would be so great if you could shoutout my username she would be so proud of me!

Unable to resist it, Chloe closed the app and made her way over to SingSnark, the premier gossip site for all the SG influencers. They were almost as obsessed with Luna as she was, and she was pretty sure that one of the users there was Chermandy, even though she'd never admit it.

The commentary there was the same too. The only new, and happy, thing was that she finally had a thread dedicated to her. She had definitely taken a step towards becoming a full time influencer and now, all she had to do was to keep the attention on her and continue growing her audience. Just as she was catching up on her thread, her alarm rang, reminding Chloe that she had to start charging her phone now if she wanted to make it to last till lunch. She should probably get some sleep as well, Chloe decided. She'd be going over to Luna's house after work anyway, she could keep her eyes open for more about what was going on.

LunaSenshi: I know it's expensive but it's so worth it and until travel with Japan resumes, this is the best way to experience some zen. My campaign with Ochaen ended two months ago but I just bought another packet of their sencha because I love it that much! Remember, you can steep it multiple times, which means that the cost per cup isn't as high as you think! Check out my stories to see more tea brewing tips and remember, I've got a giveaway coming for our essential workers – stay tuned!

AYip: I love their tea too! I bought it after my ungrateful niece refused to help me buy. So mafan but worth it!

ChuChu: Is this another ad? Why never declare?

TeaTol: I'm saving up for this!!

"Um, thanks for the photos, Chloe," Luna said as Chloe walked into her room. She was on the coffee table, a fragrant pot of tea in front of her. Chloe had seen that pot in Luna's latest post on the bus. Second time it appeared this month! "I'm just a bit confused as to why you sent them to me?"
