A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 46

Naruto's goal of bringing Lyra present was to show off to his friend, if he could bring a beautiful girl out with him as well.

Naruto sat next to Lyra, but she did not dare to get too close to Lyra.

Besides Lyra just playing her cell phone, she now deeply regrets her decision to move to Japan.

---

Eric and Nanako are on their way to a class reunion too. Nanako and Naruto were classmates when they were in High School.

Nanako when she was with Eric was very happy, for some reason she felt something strange when she was close to Eric. Actually not all women will submit to property, for example nanako.

He feels comfortable when he is with Eric, for him Eric is an honest person and never hurts women.

This kind of comfort he never got when he was with his friend or near other men.

"Eric are you happy when you're with me? " Tanya Nanako jokingly.

Suddenly the taxi driver replied. "It's arrived at the destination, miss. "

Nanako realizes that she has arrived at her destination and quickly leaves the taxi with Eric.

"Do you need me to answer that question?" Ask Eric.

Nanako frantically said, "No need... No need.. Come on, let's go in, follow me!."

Nanako actually wanted to hear an answer from Eric. But since the atmosphere had already changed he was embarrassed and undoed that intention.

Nanako immediately invited Eric into the restaurant.

Nanako is the prettiest girl in their class, they are all helpless no matter what they try to get nanako.

Nanako came in and arrived at the place where her friend had gathered.

The moment they all saw the nanako came most of the excited men of the group were delighted, but their spirit suddenly dissipated upon seeing the men with the nanako.

"Nanako is this young man your girlfriend? I never thought you'd take the initiative to date her. He looks like an uninspired person." Said one of nanako's boy friends, she said that because she was jealous of seeing nanako with a man.

Nanako immediately replied and said, "What's the matter with you. Is he my friend is he my girlfriend is my business." Nanako said coldly.

"Not listening to their words. My friends are all arrogant people and like to say without thinking about it. So please understand Eric!." Nanako whispers to Eric.

Eric immediately said, "It's okay, I don't mind that."

Nanako asked Eric to sit next to her. Everyone hasn't noticed nanako's presence but when someone realizes it she screams." Nanako's coming with a man" said the girl in front of Nanako.

All his classmates immediately gathered at the nanako table. They're all introgating the nanako with Eric present.

Nanako was confused to reply due to too many questions.Nanako simply shook her head and replied "He is my friend."

Surely they all did not believe in the nanako's answer. Because they all know that nanako never took the initiative to take men for a walk let alone to invite him to attend a class reunion.

Looking at the table beside them was a crowd. Naruto was interested to see her. But Lyra didn't care about it at all.

Naruto came forward and walked over, he saw the figure of Nanako. Seeing Naruto's presence coming, his classmates gave way.

"O nanako! How are you." Naruto.

Nanako turned around and looked at Naruto and said, "Oh! I'm fine with Naruto." Nanako answered and just smiled.

Hearing Nanako mention Naruto's name, Eric was stunned for a moment and came to a realization. Isn't Naruto also the name of my classmate?' Eric asked in his heart.

Eric immediately turned to look at her to ascertain the truth of her heart's statement.

"Naruto?" Ask Eric.

"You know each other?" Ask nanako.

Eric immediately replied, "He's my classmate"

Not far from there, Lyra who just silently played her phone heard a voice that sounded somewhat familiar.

He stood up and looked for the source of the voice. How surprised Lyra realized that standing in front of her was Eric.

But he's not so sure. To confirm the truth, he called out Eric's name loudly.

"Eric...!!!"

Silence suddenly occurred. Everyone realized that Lyra who was silent during the event was now making a sound. They all turned around and saw Lyra standing up.

Eric turned around after hearing his name. He saw a woman sitting in a corner alone. But he was surprised to realize that the girl was the Lyra he had been looking for all this time.

"Lyra..? Is that really you?" Ask Eric.

Without retaliating, Lyra immediately ran towards Eric and hugged him in front of everyone.

Everyone's jaws seemed like they were about to fall to the floor looking at that scene. Nanako was even more surprised.Did Eric recognize this woman? Or is she Eric's girlfriend?' Nanako asked in her heart.

Seeing Eric being hugged by someone, the feeling of nanako was a little uncomfortable. He feels like he's missing something but he doesn't know what he's missing.

Lyra hugged Eric with great joy like a child.

Eric is also currently very happy finally he was reunited with Lyra.

Everyone's jaws saw this scene like it was about to fall to the floor. " Anjir! Why is this shabby young man so arrogant as to have two beautiful women, when I look better than him, ". " Yes! Right when he's ugly and like he looks poor, why nanako is with him and why the beautiful woman is hugging him." Speak the crowd noisily in disbelief.

Naruto saw Lyra hugging Eric unwillingly clenched her fists. "Lyra don't do this in public. What did Grandma say when she found out this," Naruto said anxiously in anger.

Lyra ignored Naruto's words, she continued to be happy and occasionally pinched his eric cheek.

"Yira!! Did you listen to my words? "Chap Naruto in a furious tone.

Naruto's roar made his classmates shudder in fear. They never saw this frenetic Naruto.

Lyra immediately turned around and said, "What right do you have to lecture me? Are you ready for me? "

Lyra's words made Naruto feel a hard slap landing on his cheek. He had never been humiliated in his entire life like this.

All of Naruto's classmates looked at him. They all looked at Naruto to see his expression.

"Eric! Is she your boyfriend?" Nanako asked in disbelief while breaking the silence.

Eric immediately turned around and said, "Include! This is Lyra Jones, she's my friend."

Nanako stretched out her hand and said "Hi Lyra! I'm Eric's friend! "

Lyra was in a happy mood, "It's nice to meet you Miss Nanako, I'm Lyra." Lyra when filled with happy feelings then added," Her boyfriend Eric. " Lyra purposely in the second sentence raised her voice so that everyone in the room would hear her.

Nanako who heard Lyra's statement made her feel anxious and lost. I don't know why she suddenly felt like she lost Eric when Lyra said something like that.

Eric never expected Lyra to take the initiative to say such a thing in public. Eric just blushed in shame.

"Liara! Let's go home quickly. You should come home with me so that grandma doesn't blame me later." Speak Naruto with resignation.

To be honest at this point Naruto really wanted to smash and kill Eric. But there's still Lyra near Eric.

Lyra immediately replied and said, "You go home alone! I can go home with Eric. Let me explain it to grandma later." After saying that, Lyra pulled Eric's hand to leave the restaurant.
