The event was held on the third floor of Book Haven. Even before the entry time, a large crowd of readers had already gathered outside.

A dozen security guards were stationed there to maintain order. By the entrance, there was a large display stand neatly stacked with Mindy’s new book, “Seven Days“.

There was also a life–sized standee featuring the book’s cover and several cartoon representations of the key characters.

“Holy–there are so many people!” a young woman exclaimed as she stepped in, startled by the scene.

Her boyfriend followed closely behind, letting out a shocked exclamation. “What the–it’s just a book signing! Why does it feel like a fan meet–up for a celebrity?”
