A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 41

However, due to his professionalism, he only kept his thoughts to himself.

Eric doesn't care. Taking the watch, Eric carefully observed it before saying, "Wrap this for me. I'll buy it."

"You sure sir? This amazing watch costs 75 thousand dollars... Maybe you want to see another one?, or this one is cheaper, only 30 thousand dollars!"

The smile on his face began to fade away at that moment.

"Just do it, why are you asking so much?" eric answered, it was cold.

The salesperson packed the watch before swiping it on the payment machine and the payment was successful.

All the salespeople who looked at Eric their jaws seemed to be about to fall. "Yes God! 75 Thousand dollars just to buy a watch? Isn't that too fantastic?" Said the crowd of salespeople.

They never thought that this young man dressed modestly would buy the most expensive watch in the store.

They all regretted not serving Eric well, if they served Eric then the commission they got from the price of that watch was 5% equal to their earnings for one month. But that chance they threw at the others because they felt that the shabbily dressed youth was not worthy of their service.

The salesman's first impression of Eric was so ugly, he thought at first Eric was just pretending to buy the watch to show off. But who would have thought this young man actually bought her without batting an eye.

Eric saw everyone's expression looking very awkward, so he immediately picked up the watch and went straight back to his apartment to put the watch down.

Briefly morning arrived, now the clock shows at 08:00, it was time for Eric to leave for University. Arriving at Eric University did not enter his class, he said, instead, he went to the library to see Nanako.

Eric wants to find a chance to meet Nanako to replace her broken watch.

There were already a few people there even though it was this early.

Eric only walked to where he was sitting when he first met Nanako.

As soon as Eric saw the familiar table, he remembered the nanako. After all, this was where they first met.

Eric wants to give her the watch he bought for nanako. However, Eric did not see a nanako figure there. Eric's goal is not to look for a nanako because he has a crush or has another impression, but rather Eric is looking for a nanako to replace a broken watch.

Just then, nanako came to enter the library along with jiso. Long before, jiso nudged nanako gently on the shoulder before pointing at Eric.

Nanako then looked at Eric who was sitting in a place like yesterday.

"Hey, Eric!" yelled jiso quietly suddenly. Since the library was quiet, Eric immediately heard his call.

When he looked up, he saw jiso standing some distance away as he gestured with his hand to come over.

Eric could see that Nanako and the other girls were also present there. Eric was happy he finally found the figure of the nanako again.

Eric then walked towards them.

"Hey Eric, what exactly are you looking for in the library? Is your classmate here too?" jiso asked with a smile as soon as he was close enough to Eric.

'Damn it! So they've been watching you ever since I stepped into the library!' eric murmured in his heart.

"Hm? Then what are you looking for?"

"Ha ha ha! I know it. You're looking for Nanako, aren't you? Must you be trying to find it in the library?" jiso said on the sidelines of his laughter.

He closed his mouth to make sure he wasn't too loud given this library.

"I ..." Eric froze for a moment. He didn't have a good comeback to avenge Jiso.

nanako raised her face to look at Eric, a mixture of doubt and hope visible on her face. He wondered if jiso's assumption was also correct.

"Well... Yeah, I admit I'm looking for Nanako. I broke his watch last time. And I want to compensate him for that, "said Eric in a defeated tone.

"Oh? You don't have to do that, Eric! The clock was not very expensive, only a few thousand dollars. But honestly, I'm looking for you too. I want to thank you for your help yesterday! " said Nanako who initially looked a little dazed from her confession, though quickly turned into a smile upon learning of her true intentions.

Of course, he did not mean to be rude with his statement. A few thousand dollars was really nothing to someone like Nanako who had an excellent family background. That was the only reason why he could say it so casually.

"Well, since you want to thank Nanako, how about this. Since it's still early enough, you probably haven't had breakfast, have you, Eric? A new breakfast shop has opened right next to the university! Why don't we have a chat over breakfast together over there?" jiso said with a smile.

"You were given the chance to treat six beautiful women to breakfast, Eric! You better take advantage of this opportunity!" said one of the girls beside nanako adding with a smile.

"certainly! Let's go!" eric replied while nodding.

"eric, there's no need to do it." nanako turned her head to her friend with an annoyed expression.

Nanako was a little embarrassed because of this, according to her, Her friends could only make things difficult for Eric. Because when viewed from his appearance, Nanako feels Eric is not the person who is. So he felt a little guilty because of his friends.

"Everything you ordered today, I'll pay for it!" eric answered, a warm smile on his face.

After Eric says that, Eric fumbles and searches for something in his bag. He looked for the watch, but it wasn't in his bag.

It's possible that he forgot her in his apartment and didn't take her away.

With that said, they all agreed with Eric's statement and they all left the library together.

"You can go first, I have to go for a while to pick up something. Don't worry I won't run away!" eric said before parting ways with the girl's group.

He came back to get the watch.

Eric wanted to give it to nanako as soon as possible so that she didn't feel like she owed him anything anymore.

Nanako is truly beautiful and she is definitely the type of girl who can make any man feel a strong desire for her with a single glance. However, Eric's heart was reserved only for Lyra. Eric hasn't forgotten Lyra in his heart.

While this was happening, the girls had arrived and found a table for themselves at the breakfast place.
