Advertisement
When Adam, aka Gavin Sanders arrived in the mall, there are lots of women already waiting in front of the store that sells all types of perfumes, the store is their flagship store and their sales have been skyrocketing ever since they capitalize on Gavin Sanders popularity.
All products inside the store were brought by the women ranging from teenagers and middle-aged women who find Gavin cute and handsome as they lined up patiently for their turn to have Gavin's autograph.
The promotional thing was a huge success even before it began and the star product which is the collaboration of Gavin and the perfume maker called 'Gavin's Charm Perfume' is selling like hotcakes through online sales and physical sales combined. Their branches located in different areas nationwide were also showing an increase in sales benefited by Gavin's charm and popularity.
The perfume products was a major hit mostly by women consumers.
The event was also covered by the media and leading men and women's magazines, as the new commercial video advertisement will also be released to the public on the same day. There are many free posters of Gavin signed by him that were given freely to the customers who brought the perfume.
Gavin Sanders's charisma was known nationwide. He modeled almost everything from perfumes, cereals, men's clothing, restaurants, and even hotels and resorts and many other products, services and establisments scrambled to get his endorsement.
Gavin looked at the long line up of women, from the looks of it, two hours is not enough, the autograph signing can last up to five hours...well...it's not that things like this happened every day. Today he will be very generous to his fans and he would like all women to have his signed autograph so that no one goes home empty-handed.

Two hours later.
His wrist and fingers were already aching due to so much strain of signing autographs nonstop, he asked the store manager for a twenty minutes break 'coz he wants to use the bathroom and would like to eat something because he suddenly feels hungry. He took the bottled water and drink from it and went inside the store followed by Caden.
The customers of the store went sad thinking that Gavin will no longer continue signing autographs.
The Store Manager explained quickly to the customers that Gavin will have a twenty minutes break and will return shortly.
The people waited patiently for Gavin's come back. They didn't dare venture away from the line, afraid that someone will take over their position, the store manager took pity and distributed numbers starting from 1 to 200 so that the fans can go to the restroom or grab a quick snack for a break and not be afraid that their place will be taken up by someone else.
The line was dispersed instantly after the numbers were given, some customers rush to the restroom and others went to the food stall nearby to grab their favorite snack.
The owner and the store manager were very much pleased to see the strong support Gavin's fans have shown to their idol.
Inside the store.
Adam and Gavin were munching on the Red Velvet Strawberry Cake given by the staff. Endless supply of soda and energy drink were also given... as well as purified water in a bottle.
"Does your wrist hurt—bro?" Caden asked.
"A little, but it's okay, I'm not gonna die by it," Gavin smiled.
"Well...that's a small price to pay for your fame and fortune," Caden casually said.
Gavin nods his head, "Agree..."
"Based on the customer turn around, we will be here until midnight because the customers were adding up on the line," Caden said.

"It's okay, I can only finish up to 200 autograph signing today, as for the rest they will have to wait next week because we still have a second autograph signing scheduled for next week so that everyone can be accommodated," Gavin explained.
"Okay, that's a relief 'coz I'm sure those women will be crying their heart out if they can not get your autograph," Caden joked.
"But seriously bro, I have seen how you interact with lots of women during the start of your modeling career, some of them were sexy, beautiful and pretty and eager to catch your attention but you were never tempted even once to hook up with any of them. You are an enigma, bro! I mean you're one kind of a guy... so devoted to his girlfriend and... Jessy is not even like some of those women out there who are the jealous type. If I'm Jessy I would tag along with you every day, I would be every afraid to let my boyfriend faced those pretty women alone. God, she is so trusting!" Caden muses.
"Jessy trusted me 100% because she knows that she's the only woman I will ever love in this lifetime. She is secured by my love and devotion to her," Gavin said.
"Jessy is one lucky woman," Caden said aloud. He smiled at his famous friend, so down to earth, so kind and a devoted boyfriend. For him Adam is a perfect person, that's why he was very lucky to meet him during the worst times of his life. Adam is his savior and benefactor, a friend and a brother rolled into one. "Thank you so much, bro!" he blurted all of a sudden wearing a serious expression on his face.
Gavin looked at Caden. "Huh? Why are you getting emotional all of a sudden?" he asked in bafflement.
"Nothing, I'm just lucky to be adopted by you," Caden murmured.
Gavin smiled and patted his friend's shoulder affectionately, he was done eating the two slice of Red Velvet Strawberry Cake and finished it with the water. He stood up ready to go back to the entrance of the perfume store to continue his autograph signing duty. "I'll be heading out, bro, enjoy the cake!" he said and exited the room.
Caden remained in the room wanting to finish the remaining slice of the delicious strawberry velvet cake.
Outside the store.
Gavin was all smile at the ladies, his charm was working in full force. More people went inside the store to buy perfume and they were given Gavin's free poster as a complimentary gift for patronizing the store's product.
The autograph signing wrapped up at 7:00 in the evening. Those people who got numbers starting from 201 to 500 were informed by the store manager to come back next week to continue the autograph signing.
The launching of ~Gavin's Charm Perfume~ was a big success and the owner of the store prepared a party celebration to be held in his grandiose mansion the next day.
Gavin and Caden were invited.

They brag about the strength given to them yet do not know how or where that power comes from. Sick of this competition for power that is unfair to all who participate, I’m tired of being given choices that seem fine to others but don’t make any sense to me. Others are blessed with supreme talent, others are born cripple; the world is unfair and that is a fact. But what if you could see? What if the world was open to you and only you? Would your life change forever? Would you become a King amongst men? OF COURSE NOT! For the heavens are fair and they shall maintain the balance of the realm, no matter what the case. Did I ask for the knowledge I was given? NO! Did I ask for the abilities I was given? NO! So then why make me different? Why turn me into a monster who sees all yet cannot participate in the competition for power that you have arranged? WHY HAVE THE HEAVENS FORSAKEN ME? From birth I saw everything, nothing could escape my sight. However, the heavens made me a cripple, they put me in the shadows and I can’t help but yearn for the light. Why am I still of the living then? Well, Why should I give the Heavens the satisfaction of seeing me give up? I will not submit to the heavens nor will I submit to the bastards that wish to use me. All I can do now is continue to rebel against everything. All I can do is continue to battle the Heavens in my heart. I shall carve out a new path for all those like me, a path that will go against the very constitution of this world. How will I do this? I do not know. But I will! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will upload a chapter a day on Royalroad (maybe more) however if you want more of the story at a quicker pace then go to fantasy-books.live. There are currently 110+ chapters of Path of Blood there. P.S - I started Path of Blood about a year ago so the first fifteen chapters have some problems character wise however I'm currently working with an editor to remedy these to make the story a better read. Anyway, these issues don't last long and since Pob is a story that rewards the patient, only those who've read till the latest will understand how good the story really is....I designed it to get better with every ark, surprises planned at every corner and the eventual ending of Pob will definitely not dissapoint, so stick around and give it a chance. :D
