Let Me Stay The Night

Christina even began to wonder if she was inherently prone to disasters. She had just returned to Jadeborough, and trouble had eagerly knocked on her door. Can’t I have a few peaceful days?

Christina lamented inwardly. However, that was her studio and her source of income, so she had to take that matter seriously.

Christina supported Rayne and made room for her on the chair. Then, she poured a cup of coffee and handed it to the latter. “Calm down. Have a drink and speak slowly.

Rayne was already at her wit’s end. She had no time to leisurely sip coffee and relax. Taking in Christina’s nonchalant demeanor, Rayne grew more anxious.

“Christina, the problem this time involves the studio’s survivability.”

Is it that serious? Christina furrowed her brows. “What happened?”

Rayne said, “It’s Emilia. She made a debut in the entertainment industry and became acquainted with the locally famous and highly successful agent, Estelle Channing. Emilia suddenly rose to fame on the internet half a month ago. Estelle somehow managed to whitewash Emilia’s past. Two weeks ago, she copied Elizabeth’s old trick, asking Estelle to approach our studio to customize a set of dresses for attending events.”

Emilia’s trouble-causing actions were still to come. Rayne organized her thoughts for a moment before she gritted her teeth and continued. “Estelle described to us the ideal requirements for the dress based on the KR brand’s designs from the nineties. Three days ago, Emilia wore the dresses we designed to attend an endorsement event for a certain brand, and she happened to run into KR’s director!”

Christina grimaced. Everyone knew how difficult it was to deal with the KR brand in the clothing design industry.

Moreover, that brand had been established for a long time. The designs of their dresses during the brand’s most glorious period were revered by others and were still popular to that day.

“Emilia’s team immediately issued a statement, pushing all the responsibilities onto us. She portrayed herself as a victim and garnered a wave of popularity. After the incident, I contact Estelle immediately. She denied that she had put forward the design requirements to the studio and instead used the studio’s previous plagiarism predicament as a point of argument. Now, KR has sent a lawyer’s letter to the studio, accusing us of copyright infringement”

Christina hurriedly stood up. “Why are you only telling me something so important now? We’ll discuss the rest of the matter when we get to the studio.”
