A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 6

Eric ran away from Lyra because he didn't want trouble coming to him because of Lyra. So, Eric will try to avoid Lyra even though he himself really wants to be close to Lyra.

After Eric leaves the crowd, he quickly looks for bella to return her money because bella paid for her yesterday.

It was a coincidence that Eric met bella on the university steps when he was about to enter class.

Quickly, Eric approached bella, saying."Bella this is the money I borrowed yesterday to buy the medicine, I'll give it back."

Bella who heard that voice quickly turned around. He saw Eric was handing him money.

Bella quickly waved her hand as she said, "There's no need to return it, the money is for you!"

"No!" Eric shook his head." This is your money that I borrowed yesterday, so how could this be my right?"

Bella sees Eric's determination to return the money, so she can only accept him with a heavy heart. Bella knew Eric needed the money more than he did, so she insisted on refusing Eric to give her back the money.

Which makes Bella want to take the money back because, her father yesterday just gave Eric a good job. So maybe Eric can get even more money according to bella.

After Eric returns the money, Eric leaves quickly to leave Bella. But Bella quickly called him back and immediately approached him.

"Eric! wait a minute" call Bella while walking towards Eric.

Eric turned to look back." Can I help you?"

Bella timidly asked." Did you get a job?"

Hearing that Eric becomes astonished why Bella asks him about a job that has nothing to do with him.

Eric scratched his head while puzzled "What are you asking that? Not as usual?"

Bella's got a shame." Nah! I just want to know, do you have a job?"

"Work?" Eric smiled wryly at Bella while saying." For now I have no job. Yesterday I was just fired by my boss for no reason. But you don't need to worry, I can still find another job myself!'

Hearing that Bella's face turned pale because her father had just lied to her if Eric was given a good job but instead he fired her.

"Is it true that you said you were just fired?" Ask Bella to make sure.

Eric smiled wryly as he nodded lightly, "It seems so! I also don't know the reason behind my dismissal!"

Two lines of tears flowed down Bella's cheeks, she was really not exhausted if her father was so hearty to fire Eric.

At first Bella thought her father had given Eric a good job. Not only was his father unwilling to give Eric a job, but worse, his father fired Eric from his previous job. This makes Bella really sad and angry with her father.

Eric who saw Bella suddenly crying made himself confused." Bella, what makes you suddenly cry like this?"

Bella quickly wiped her tears when she noticed Eric seeing her crying." I'm all right! My eyes were bitten by ants, so I let out tears!" bella makes an excuse to hide herself crying.

Suddenly comes issabel friend approaching Bella. She was surprised to see Bella who seemed to have just cried. He also sees Eric near Bella, so issabel assumes that Eric is the cause of Bella's crying.

"Bella, what did he do to you? Could he hurt you?"

Bella quickly looked to the side and found the figure of issabel who was saying that.

Eric was also surprised to see the current presence of issabel. Eric quickly waved his hand as he said, "No! I never did anything to Bella! Don't misunderstand me!"

Bella quickly spoke up as she stared at Issabel." I'm okay, issabel. It has nothing to do with me crying with Eric!"

After saying that, Bella looked down respectfully at Eric with a smile and pulled Issabel's hand away from the place.

Hearing Bella's statement made Eric very confused. 'What made Bella suddenly cry like that?' eric asked in his heart.

After seeing Bella leave, Eric quickly goes into his class.

But suddenly, a shocking thing happened right then and there. Lyra comes to the Language Department building to look for Eric. Lyra feels Eric is very strange with men in general that he has ever found.

The other men are all constantly chasing him, but Eric is even seen trying to stay away from him. This really makes Lyra curious about the figure of Eric even though Eric looks unsightly in his eyes.

"****, what makes this lovely lady Lyra come to our department store?"

"This is truly new history!! Let's capture this scene!'

The entire language department building was a little noisy with the presence of Lyra's figure in the building.

Everyone was wondering and astonished, What made Lyra come to their majors.

Lyra enters the language class one by one to find Eric. She followed a great number of students from behind like a queen, but no one dared to even approach her or greet her.

After a while of searching for Eric's class, Lyra found Eric sitting and sitting there staring at the window.

Lyra quickly walked in and called out to Eric."Eric..! "

Hearing his name being called, Eric immediately turned to look for the figure who called out to him. But Eric was so very surprised to find that the person who called him was Lyra the most beautiful medical child at the University.

Everyone was watching that scene. The classroom window was filled with teary eyes watching Lyra meet Eric.

Most of them were very surprised to see Lyra's decision to meet the poor boy Eric. Many of them were very envious seeing this.

"Miss Lyra...? Why did you come to my class?" Eric asked in shock.

Lyra ignored all the eyes that were looking at her. Karen was kind of like this was common to her wherever she went.

Lyra looked at Eric with slight annoyance and said." I'm just here to ask you, why did you seem to stay away from me just now? And who beat you up..? Answer my question honestly."

Lyra feels she has a debt of gratitude to Eric because Eric once pinned her bag from theft. So Lyra could not only stay silent to see Eric like that, she wanted to return the favor to Eric.

Eric scratched his head while smiling wryly, "What did Miss Lyra bother looking for me just to ask that?"

Lyra looked at Eric with annoyance." Answer my question, don't say nonsense."

Eric certainly did not dare to say that. Moreover, this was witnessed by many eyes, of which Eric would have major problems later.

And also Eric heard and still remembered the threat from Daniel before, if he dared to approach Lyra again, then Daniel would beat her up and expel her from this University.

"Let's just say Eric, you don't have to be afraid!" lyra said as she looked at Eric.

Eric just lowered his head and did not dare to look at Lyra. Then Eric quickly picked up the cue and ran away from Lyra.

Lyra just stared blankly at the place Eric was standing before with a confused thought. He still wanted to know, what made Eric like this.

Bella and Issabel behind Lyra are also surprised to see suddenly coming to the language department just to find Eric.

With great respect, issue the menu and greet Lyra." Miss Lyra, did she make trouble with you? I can teach her a lesson if Miss Lyra wants it."
