Me Before You

Anna was salivating at the strawberry mousse in front of her, but some sounds were continuously disturbing her ears. She raised
her head in displeasure, and she saw an enlarged, familiar face in front of her.
"You?" Anna exclaimed in dismay.
Henry Michael glanced at her complacently, without saying a word.
Anna glared at him angrily. Her eyes seemed eager to burst out the fire and Daniel Taylor was very surprised by her reaction.
"Anna, this is the general manager of The Michael group, Henry Michael, do you know him?" Daniel Taylor broke the silence and
asked.
Anna nodded, but gnawed her teeth and said, "Yes, I know! But it would be better to not know him!"
As she said this, it was Henry Michael’s turn to be shocked. He looked at Anna and can’t help shouting at her, "you..."
Anna raised her head and looked at him with a proud smile, "what’s wrong with me? I’m fine!"
Henry Michael raised his hand as if to hit her but his hand was stopped by a pair of big hands.
Henry Michael raised his head, looked into Daniel Taylor’s dark eyes, and unconsciously swallowed his words, "President Taylor,
you!"
Daniel Taylor lightly pushed away his hand, and then said with a smile, "I’m sorry, but it’s my fiancée you’re going to cause
trouble with!"
Henry Michael paused, and he was displeased. After all, in so many years he never had to control his temper like this. However,
he didn’t admit defeat, "what if she is your fiancé? She started this provocative behavior first. I’m just reacting!"
Daniel Taylor looked at him with the corner of his eye, "You aren’t allowed to react like this. Anna is my dearest woman. No
matter what, I will always guard her. No one is allowed to bully her, even you."
With that, he left his hand and sat down gracefully.
Henry Michael stared at him and Anna fiercely. Then turned around, to walk toward the table where he was seated.

As soon as Henry Michael left, Anna looked at Daniel Taylor with an infatuated face and praised him, "Sir, you really protected
me like a man! How daring! I really love you!"
Daniel Taylor chuckled, "don’t think by this buttering you will be get rid of the explanation that you owe! You’d better think about
how to explain to me every detail, bit by bit between you and the general manager of the Michael group!"
Daniel Taylor said such a sentence, picked up the glass of wine and drank it!
Anna was sitting on the side, like a pitiful little wife of this strict man that can make anyone can’t help but pity her!
However, Daniel Taylor’s heart wasn’t softened to see her like this.
Because after seeing such a handsome man as Henry Michael, he felt really insecure. He looked at Anna who was becoming
more and more charming day by day, he felt uneasy at the bottom of his heart, and this uneasiness made him doubt his charm.
After all, he and Anna married each other just because of a mutual contract, and they skipped the step of natural attraction
between men and women. Although she has shown her more than once, he still felt reluctant to rely on her love to maintain their
relationship!
In particular, because Anna was no longer the country girl who had no money to pay tuition fee and go to the university. She had
become the boss of a company and was a well-known writer with numerous fans.
All these reasons made Daniel Taylor very insecure, and he wanted to hold on to her tightly for fear that she will fly away!
In Daniel Taylor’s life, he has never experienced the feeling of worrying about gain and loss. But whenever he thought about
losing Anna, he felt really terrible!
Thinking of this, Daniel Taylor turned his head and looked at the pitiful Anna. Somehow, he felt that the woman in front of him
was looking much more beautiful, which was quite different from the simple dress up before!
The thought that a lot of eyes were staring at her beautiful back, Daniel Taylor suddenly took off his suit coat and directly put it on
Anna’s body.
Anna looked up at him suspiciously.
Daniel Taylor looked at her without changing any expression, and said "the weather is a little cold here. I don’t want you to catch
a cold."

Anna turned around. Daniel Taylor thought that she had believed in her words, but the next moment heard Anna cunningly
saying in his ear, "Sir, can your lie be worse?"
After being seen through by her, he turned his head in amazement and looked into a pair of her bright eyes, that were full of
smile. His face was slightly stiff to see that. He unconsciously lowered his head and did not see her again.
However, this did not hinder Anna’s mood. She was in a good mood and smiled slightly. From time to time, she stirred Daniel
Taylor, "Sir, your face is blushing! How lovely!"
"Sir, I really like the way you blush!"
"Sir, I love you so much!"
...
Finally, Daniel Taylor was extremely annoyed by her and he frowned. He warned her in a cold voice, "Anna, behave yourself.
Otherwise, when you go home, I will let you have a good time!"
This warning, successfully made Anna shut her mouth.
Daniel Taylor turned back with satisfaction.
After a while, the host of the dinner party, Mr. Woodley, came to propose a toast with them.
"President Taylor, President Albert, President Leon! If my reception is not up to scale, please forgive me." Mr. Woodley came to
greet the people at this table, who were very familiar with him.
Anna also stood up, picked up the glass, drank the red wine, and really liked it. She saw that no one was looking at her. So, she
took another glass and drank it.
After some chat, Daniel Taylor also sat down. However, he was surprised to find Anna sitting there with a red face and there
were empty glasses of wine.
Then Daniel Taylor saw that Anna leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered, "Sir, I love you! I can’t bear to leave you!
Although I know that I don’t deserve you. Still, I’m working hard to be worthy of you, so that I won’t be criticized anymore. One
day, I will be capable of it, believe me. After that, I will be with you without any psychological pressure..."

Daniel Taylor looked at Anna in amazement. He immediately stood up, embraced her waist, and walked outside.
Mr. Woodley saw this scene from a distance. He hurried over and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Taylor, are you going now? The
dinner isn’t over yet. I want to talk about something with you."
Daniel Taylor glanced at Anna, who was not quite at ease. He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Woodley, let’s make an
appointment some other day."
With that, he took Anna and walked towards the door.
When reached at the door, he saw that Jack Smith’s car was parked there. Jack Smith came over quickly, looked at the woman
in his arms, and complained a little, "Mr. Taylor, why didn’t you tell me that you are coming to the dinner party of Mr. Woodley?"
Daniel Taylor didn’t reply, went to his car, opened the door, let Anna sat in the back seat, and then he sat beside her.
Jack Smith, who was neglected, sighed, got on the car, and continued to complain, "Mr. Taylor, I am your personal assistant. If
you leave me like this and do things alone, I will be hurt!"
Daniel Taylor looked at him coldly, and then whispered, "Oh? My toilet needs to be dredged. Can you do it for me."
Jack Smith immediately shut up and drove quietly.
All the way home, Anna didn’t wake up. Jack Smith got out of the car to help her get off the car, but he received Daniel Taylor’s
glare. Jack Smith explained in a low voice, "I just want to help."
Daniel Taylor didn’t pay attention to him and went straight to his home with his little wife in his arms.
He took two steps, looked back at his assistant standing by the car and said in a low voice, "pick me up at 8:00 tomorrow
morning on time."
With that, he left without looking back.
