Me Before You

Chapter 838

Anna looked at her suspiciously, "what’s the matter? Miss Carole, is Mr. Taylor busy?"

Miss Carole said to Anna earnestly, "Anna, I know that you can’t forget Mr. Taylor, but I think it’s not appropriate for you to come to him now. After you both are divorced. What do you think?"

Anna knew that Miss Carole’s intentions weren’t wrong, so she said with a smile, "I know, but Miss Carole, I’m looking for Mr. Taylor for something urgent."

Miss Carole looked at her suspiciously. Her questioning eyes seemed to be checking whether what she said was true or not.

Anna saw Jack Smith from a distance and called him, "Jack Smith!"

As soon as Jack Smith came towards her side, she looked at Miss Carole with a smile and said, "Goodbye, Miss Carole."

Jack Smith just came over, looked at Anna and asked with a smile, "Anna, how did you come here?" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Anna explained, "there is no class in the afternoon. I want to come to Mr. Taylor. There is something important."

Miss Carole looked at Anna, who was chatting and laughing with Jack Smith. She shook her head and walked away to do her work.

Jack Smith looked at Miss Carole’s attitude and asked, "What Miss Carole was saying to you? Is she trying to persuade you again?"

Anna smiles bitterly and nodded, "is it so obvious on my face?"

Jack Smith just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Anna nodded helplessly, "well, I admit that I am convinced by Miss Carole! I’d better leave Sir’s side, or I’ll be really hurt if I had to listen to it repeatedly!"

Jack Smith immediately seemed worried and advised Anna, "Don’t be so loud while saying such a thing. If President Taylor heard it, I cannot protect you!"

Anna laughed at him playfully, "Oh? Then I can only pray that he won’t hear me."

But suddenly she saw that Jack Smith squeezed his eyes towards her. Anna didn’t understand his hint and asked, "Jack Smith, what’s the matter? Have you got sand in your eyes? But there is no sand in the office!"

Suddenly a deep voice reached Anna’s ear, "what can’t I hear? Are you two hiding something from me?"

Anna had a bitter face and she looked at Jack Smith. Jack Smith coughed slightly and said without changing his face, "Mr. Taylor, I have to copy the documents of the meeting. I will go now."

With that, he ran away with no sense of righteousness.

Anna stared at Jack Smith’s back with hatred, and scolded, "this man really have no conscience."

However, the man behind her was approaching her and she didn’t have time to care about Jack Smith any more. She turned to Daniel Taylor and waved with a smile, "surprise!"

Daniel Taylor scrupulously glanced at her and quietly turned into the office.

Anna was still standing at the door. She didn’t know whether to go in or go back!

Finally, she heard Daniel Taylor asking, "Anna, do you want to stand at the door for the whole day?"

Anna licked her lips and said with a smile, "of course not. Bad children should be punished."

Daniel Taylor snorted coldly and stood directly in front of his desk, staring at Anna with a powerful aura.

Anna, who was being stared at by him had nowhere to hide. She said, "by the way, what are you doing? Are you busy? Did I disturb you?"

Daniel Taylor stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and looked into her twinkling eyes. Then he asked in a deep voice, "Anna, are you hiding something from me? Or you are afraid to letting me know? Am I right? Do you and Jack Smith have a good relationship? Shall I make him your assistant?"

Anna refused without thinking, "No! Sir, Jack Smith is so kind to you. You’d better keep it! I have a small company, only Ryan Asher is enough!"

Daniel Taylor raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Is it?"

Anna nodded hastily, just like a pounding garlic, and said, "Really! How can I compare the scale of my company with that of Mr. Taylor? What’s more, you’ve been used to using Jack Smith. Moreover, he has work to do here. What he will do in my small company?"

Daniel Taylor looked at the way Anna was justifying her argument, but the frost on his face still didn’t disappear.

The thought that Anna actually had a secret with Jack Smith, made him feel very uncomfortable. Even if he knew that they didn’t have a big secret, he still didn’t like the feeling of being excluded by Anna. He was feeling particularly bad.

Anna raised her head and looked at the him whose face was still stiff. She could not help but said plaintively, "I was missing you, that’s why as soon as the class was over, I ran to your place. But it turned out that you are interested in asking me a lot of questions. I’m so sad! I’m going back!"

Daniel Taylor saw this and his heart softened. He looked at the woman in his arms with a smile. He knew she was pretending, but he just couldn’t stand her sad eyes.

"Well, I won’t ask you anything. If you don’t want to say it, just let it go."

Anna got the freedom, she looked at the man who sat back in the chair and looked through the documents. After thinking about it, she said, "In fact, it’s nothing. Actually, Miss Carole misunderstood me. She thought I pesters you, so she advised me to not do this! But it’s not her mistake, she just doesn’t know anything!"

Daniel Taylor frowned, "Miss Carole?"

Anna nodded, "Yes! However, Miss Carole’s intentions weren’t bad. Don’t get her wrong! After all, no one knew that we aren’t divorce."

Daniel Taylor saw Anna speaking for Miss Carole. He did not say anything, just lowered his head, and indulged in his thoughts.

Anna looked at him like this and asked, "Sir, what do you want to eat at noon? Let’s go out and eat together."

Daniel Taylor looked at this woman, who was just pretending to be pitiful, but now she has changed into a greedy cat. He affectionately pinched her nose, and said, "Whatever you say, what do you want to eat?"

Anna thought for a moment and said, "Let’s eat hot pot, and also call Jack Smith. After all, he works hard every day."

But as soon as the words were uttered, Anna noticed that Daniel Taylor’s face suddenly became sullen and cold.

Anna laughed and pretended to be shivering, "it’s so cold!"

Daniel Taylor hurried over, took her into his arms, and kept rubbing her arm, "I asked you to wear more, but you just don’t listen!"

Anna gave a cunning smile, "Actually, someone here is too cold!"

Daniel Taylor was stunned, and then he found Anna’s smile. He released her discontentedly and sat down without saying a word.

Anna didn’t care about him, opened the door with a smile and walked outside. She didn’t forget to call Jack Smith, "Jack Smith, President Taylor is calling you!"

Daniel Taylor looked at someone who had slipped away like a rabbit. His eyes were full of doting smiled and he looked at her. Then he looked at Jack Smith’s puzzled eyes and his expressions were changed in an instant. He said to Jack Smith, "Anna wants to eat hot pot. Go and reserve a box now."

With that, he took his coat and walked ahead.

Looking at Daniel Taylor’s back, Jack Smith couldn’t help shake his head, but he still followed him briskly. While walking, he said, "Mr. Taylor, wait for me. I’m going to drive!"

Daniel Taylor walked out of the company and saw Anna enjoying the cool breeze.

He took a brisk step forward, held her in his arms, and then looked back, but did not see Jack Smith. He looked around and shout, "Jack Smith, what are you dawdling about? Where’s the car? Come on, Anna is freezing."

Jack Smith looked at Daniel Taylor’s anxious appearance, did not say a word and sat in the car to drive.
