Recalling the words she'd just exchanged with them, Linda's embarrassment deepened. She hadn't even stayed for the photo shoot; she just walked out.
That afternoon, Shirley tweeted, "Fangirl dream achieved with Astar," tagging Astrid, and sharing a selfie with the two of them. Astrid tweeted back, also sharing the photo.
In no tat all, Twitter was ablaze, and comments flooded in, "Nobody can resist Astar's charm, not even the venerable Shirley!" "Thank you for your support, ma'am!" "Astrid's just a newbie, grateful for the guidance!" "Big thanks for letting us see Astar's selfie in our lifetime." "Great minds flock together, it seems." "Can't wait to see these two collaborate." Bernice was sitting on her balcony, feeling a breeze, when the buzz hit social media. Her hand trembled as she gripped her phone, barely able to contain her emotions.
She thought she'd have an easy ttaking Astrid down, but instead, Astrid's popularity was skyrocketing.

Jay promised, "There won't be any surprises." An hour later, a notorious gossip blogger teased, "Hot reality TV starlet, bombshell scoop in hand, tune in at 9 PM." This blogger had exposed numerous celebrity scandals before, only making a peep when there was something substantial.
The teaser set the inteon fire, "Astrid?" "No way, just as she's rising, she gets slammed?" "My Astar, what could possibly be the scoop?" "Given the clue, it's gotta be Astrid, right? Oh, the thrill!" "Astar can't catch a break from these trolls, can she?" Normally, Chad and his crew would be all over this, suppressing the gossip But at the moment, they were all lounging comfortably at Astrid's place, engrossed in poker hands. "Full house!" Chad triumphantly laid down his cards, sure no one could beat it, when Astrid casually dropped a bomb. Chad's face fell, "C'mon, Chief, you're not playing fair! Where's the fun if you keep cheating?" Astrid, with a lazy glance, retorted, "Pay up!" Reluctantly, Chad and Hank handed over the cash, and Hank asked, "Chief, did you get Jay's thing ready?" Astrid arched an eyebrow, "Of course. To show my sincerity, I even recorded a little video." Chad and Hank exchanged knowing looks, already mourning for Jay.
