A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 17

Eric never thought that the investment world was very promising. Eric got this all in less than a month, of course according to logic it's impossible. But Eric could achieve that either because of the hockey factor or it was fate.

After a short break, Eric got ready and went straight to university.

Upon his arrival at the University, Eric sees Lyra handing out the same paper that was given to him on the university grounds. So Eric concluded that Lyra was handing out her birthday invitation.

Eric must have looked at Lyra from a distance with a small smile.

After a few moments of standing there staring at Lyra, Eric decided to enter the classroom instead. Suddenly from behind, someone slapped his shoulder.

Eric quickly turned to look at her. Eric found bella smiling wryly at him.

"Bella..?" eric looked at Bella.

Bella smiled slightly as she said." Sorry to surprise you!"

Eric waved his hand." No, not at all!" Eric looked at Bella while asking." What's calling me?"

Bella smiled wryly lowered her head while saying." I'm sorry for what happened before!"

Eric scratched his head in confusion at Bella's revelation.

Eric asked curiously." What the hell is it? What do you want to say? Do you need my help?"

"Not about that! " Bella shook her head then said guiltily." It's about you getting fired from your job back then."

When Eric heard this, it immediately made him confused.

"What's the matter with me getting fired?" eric asked with curiosity.

Bella explained very seriously" Actually my dad was the boss who fired you back then. I saw you working at the time and felt sorry for the hard work, and then I told my father to give you a lighter and better job, but my father lied to me at the time." Bella sighed as she continued." she said she had given you a good job, but you were actually fired. He lied to me! .. Please forgive me Eric, it's all my fault!"

Eric showed a slightly surprised expression. Eric never thought that Bella's father was the boss who fired her at that time. But now Eric doesn't care much about it, because he already has a lot of money. Of course he will now not do part-time work anymore to finance his life, because Eric already has a lot of money from the results of his crypto investment.

Eric smilingly scratched his head while saying looking at Bella!" Sola it! Forget about Bella. I didn't think much of it, so I didn't blame her at all."

Bella nodded lightly, then looked at Eric as she said." How about this, I'll treat you to a meal to make amends after college hours are over? It's been a long time since we ate together! So how?"

Hearing Bella's statement made Eric instantly stunned. After all, only the figure of Bella who became his friend first in the High School. The two of them were always together, but it was lost when they both went up to College. Maybe Bella now already has a little shame befriending Eric, therefore Bella rarely met Eric.

Eric and Bella both sat down and chatted There.

Accidentally, the togetherness of Eric and Bella is seen by Lyra from a distance. Lyra at that moment instantly stared blankly at the two of them.

I don't know what hit Lyra's heart at the time. He feels pain in his heart when he sees Eric's closeness to another woman. Lyra also had no idea, why she had this kind of emotion seeing Eric close to another woman.

Lyra wants to get close to Eric, but she uncovers her intentions because she is handing out her birthday invitation letter.

Quickly, Lyra looked at Henry while asking curiously." Henry, do you know the woman who sat with the young man?"

Hearing Lyra talk to him made henry a little nervous. For this was the first time she had been gently greeted by Lyra.

Henry immediately replied to Lyra." I know Miss Lyra, she is Bella a close friend of Isabel!"

Lyra nodded lightly hearing that, then then she asked again." What is Bella's relationship with the young man, is Bella her boyfriend?"

"His boyfriend?" Henry shook his head." How could Bella be willing to date that young man, all the language majors don't like that young man! So, no woman is interested in him!" henry explained.

After getting an explanation from Henry, Lyra immediately turned her eyes away from Henry. 'It's a good thing Eric's not Bella's boyfriend! ' said Lyra inwardly as she sighed.

'But why would the two of them sit together if there was no need? What is Eric's relationship with Bella?' Lyra wondered in her heart.

This makes a little confusion. 'Why am I worried about Eric? Isn't he my nobody? Lyra said inwardly in annoyance.

Later, Lyra goes on to split her birthday invitation and ignores Eric.

In short, Eric and Bella's campus hours are over. They had already made an appointment to eat together.

Of course the two of them after finishing campus hours, Eric and Bella immediately went to eat together.

The two of them walked together while chatting.

"Eric, did you also get a birthday invitation letter from Lyra..?" ask Bella.

Eric nodded and said." I've got her too!"

"You got it too, didn't you? Where is the invitation now?" ask Bella curious.

Eric quickly avenged bella." Miss Lyra gave it to me this morning!"

Bella was confused by Eric's answer." Lyra gave you this morning..? Where he gave you.."

Eric quickly shut his mouth, because he almost gave Bella a hint that she was already pleased with Lyra.

"I was wrong to say, actually I was given by Miss Lyra's friend in front of the gate. And I left it in class." Eric replied.

Hearing Eric reply, Bella immediately trusted him without any hesitation. Because, Bella thinks how could someone like Lyra even bother to give Eric a letter of invitation in person?

"How about we go to the store get some stuff to give Lyra later?" take Bella.

Eric heard it immediately nodded in agreement.

"A good idea! Let's go then!" reply Eric
