Chapter 163: The Gala Night
"Someone claimed that the CoChi designs were copied from another designer’s work. They accused us of plagiarizing."
Elaine showed Aryana her cell phone. Aryana read all the slanders that the netizens were slinging on CoChi.
"Looks like we offended someone. Maybe it’s our competitor. But we are just a small brand." Elaine continued browsing the comments.
"Maybe it is related to Cassie’s company launch. Such a big event but was overshadowed by GoChi." Aryana carefully said. "Don’t worry. All of Vince’s original designs were protected by copyright."
She forwarded the copyright notice to Elaine. "You can post that on the internet to clear the misunderstanding. I had previously applied for copyright to all our designs so no one can accuse us of plagiarism."

Aryana was very busy the following days. The company CoChi was registered. She was the CEO while Elaine was the Director of Finance and Marketing, Vince was the director of Design and Jessa was the Director of Operations.
They did not have a physical store and it was something that Aryana and Elaine were working on.
Their online shop ’Cool and Chic’ became popular along with the brand CoChi. Vince became more inspired and he has drawn so many designs. He learned how to use the kaleidoscope app which enabled him to create more design drafts.
Aryana hired and contracted two more designers recommended by Rex. They were paid on a commission basis.
That Friday night, Aryana promised to be the female companion of Jax on a gala event for the financial institutions. She was wearing the latest design of Vince. It was a fiery red gown made of tulle, encrusted with eight toned color crystal palette that ranged from yellow to dark red creating an illusion that it was a lava flowing out of a volcano’s crater. It was tight fitting and it featured a high slit and has short sleeves.
