Me Before You

Daniel Taylor was sitting in the car, quietly looking at the daily news on the mobile phone, but his mind was stuck at Anna.
He thought about yesterday’s scene. Although he has listened to Anna’s explanation, still, the uneasiness in his heart hasn’t
subsided.
He looked down at his watch and called Jack Smith.
Jack Smith has dropped Anna to her university. He was about to turn when he saw his mobile phone vibrating, he answered.
"Hello, Mr. Taylor! Anna has been safely sent to school." Jack Smith reported.
Daniel Taylor heard it and ordered in a deep voice, "I want all the information related to Henry Michael of The Michael group now.
When I enter the office, I want it on my desk."
Daniel Taylor didn’t wait for Jack Smith’s reply and hung up the phone.
Jack Smith stared at the beeping mobile phone and suddenly had an impulse to throw this mobile phone out of the window, but
after thinking about it, he didn’t do it. After all, the mobile phone was innocent, he didn’t want to vent on it.
Jack Smith had no option than to drive back and search the information of Henry Michael.
Daniel Taylor came to the company. The front desk receptionist saw him and immediately got up to greet him, "good morning, Mr.
Taylor."
Daniel Taylor nodded and got into the elevator.
Along the way, the staff said hello to him one after another. Daniel Taylor with a serious face, nodded to everyone, and entered
the office.
After seeing Jack Smith standing at his desk with a smile, Daniel Taylor raised his eyebrows and finally his face had the second
expression of the day, "Where is the document?"
Jack Smith put a document in front of him with a smile, and then said in a deep voice, "Henry Michael, 25 years old, is the chief
executive officer of the Michael group in Asia, with an annual salary of millions! His father, Bill Michael, 45 years old, has retired
early; his mother, Mila Hayek, 42 years old, is now the president of a well-known Association..."

While listening to Jack Smith’s introduction and looking at the detailed information in hand, Daniel Taylor’s eyebrows were locked
up again.
Especially when he saw Henry Michael’s handsome face, he couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and touch his face. Then he
took back his hand and tapped his fingers on the table.
Jack Smith looked at his behavior in surprise, and said, "Mr. Taylor, in fact, you don’t need to compare yourself with Henry. You
are much more handsome than him!"
Daniel Taylor raised his head and looked at Jack Smith in surprise. He hesitated a little and then asked, "Am I really more
handsome than him?"
He nodded and laughed at his nervous boss, then said, "I swear, if anyone says you’re not as handsome as this man, then his
eyes must be covered with dirt."
Daniel Taylor looked at Jack Smith, who even swore in front of him, but he didn’t pay attention to him. He looked directly at the
photo of Henry Michael in hand and lost in his thought.
At the same time, Jack Smith’s mobile phone rang. He quickly took it out and answered the phone. Then he looked at Daniel
Taylor, who was still immersed in his thoughts. He said, "Mr. Taylor, old chief is in critical condition."
Daniel Taylor suddenly raised his head, as if to confirm what Jack Smith said was true or false. But after seeing the heaviness in
Jack Smith’s eyes, he tightly pursed his lips and ordered in a deep voice, "book a ticket to B City now!"
With that, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Robin Johnson’s phone number.
"The number you dialed is not responding at the moment..." No one answered the phone.
Daniel Taylor got up and went out in a hurry. He ordered Jack Smith, "Postpone all my business trips and meetings in these
days. I’ll go to B City alone. You stay here and take care of the company. By the way, give Anna a call. No, just send a text
message to her and tell her that I have gone to B City."
While going to the elevator, Daniel Taylor had issued a lot of orders.
Jack Smith looked at Daniel Taylor who stepped into the elevator and whispered, "Mr. Taylor, everything will be fine."
Daniel Taylor didn’t look back. He pressed the button to the first floor, and the elevator door closed slowly in front of Jack Smith.

Jack Smith couldn’t help but take a deep breath. He looked around at the staff who kept looking at him, and he ordered coldly,
"Mr. Taylor has gone on a business trip. I will work with you in the next few days."
As soon as the announcement was made, some gossipy colleagues came to Jack Smith’s side and asked, "do you know where
Mr. Taylor is going on a business trip?"
Jack Smith glanced at the colleague who asked this and then gave him a warning, "Amanda, are you very idle? Do you need me
to arrange some more work for you?"
Amanda understood the situation and immediately stepped back.
Jack Smith looked around again and issued a warning, "President Taylor is not here. We should work harder. Do you
understand?"
"We do!" they all replied unanimously.
Jack Smith went back to Daniel Taylor’s office, postponed all the appointment these days, and also dealt with some documents
that haven’t been processed.
Daniel Taylor drove to the airport and got on the plane in a hurry. As soon as he was seated, the plane was about to take off.
He picked up his mobile phone and was about to call Anna, but he saw the stewardess walking towards him with a smile on her
face, "Sir, please turn off your mobile phone. The plane is about to take off, your mobile phone signal will interfere with the
normal flight of the plane. Please cooperate."
Daniel Taylor thought for a while, then turned off the mobile phone.
Along the way, Daniel Taylor looked at the scenery outside the window and thought about many things...
In Daniel Taylor’s life, old chief was a very important person. From his childhood till now, old chief always taught him best things
about life. Even Robin Johnson, who was the only son of the old chief, never got such care from him that Daniel Taylor got.
After his accident, old chief called him every month to inquire about his situation. But at that time, he was very depressed and at
the end of the hope. So, he didn’t want to see people related to Robin Johnson, and that’s why he kept a distance from him.
Last time he attended old chief’s birthday party and they all prayed for his long life, but unexpectedly, this time he was going to
visit old chief when he was critically ill.

Daniel Taylor couldn’t help feeling empty at the bottom of his heart.
Nothing is permanent but change. We should cherish our present. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret after getting old.
Thinking of this, he thought of Anna, her energetic and lifeful smile and the way she always looked happy when she ate
something. Just by the thought, he couldn’t help smiling.
The stewardess came to the cabin from time to time. When she saw Daniel Taylor smiling, she became more attentive and
brought drinks, "Sir, would you like something to drink? This is fresh orange juice. Would you like to have some?"
Daniel Taylor heard someone talking to him and regained his senses. Even though he was surprised, he still took the orange
juice, smiled politely and nodded, "thank you!"
The stewardess smiled back and looked at Daniel Taylor, who was dressed gracefully. Just after seeing the smile on his face,
she was totally bewildered.
Daniel Taylor didn’t notice her abnormality at all. He took a sip of orange juice and turned to look out of the window.
Along the way, the stewardess was extremely considerate to Daniel Taylor. She was too considerate that she came to him so
many times and finally, he noticed something wrong. So, when she came to deliver blankets, Daniel Taylor said coldly, "I’m
married."
Then he thanked the stewardess, refused to take the blanket, got up and walked to the toilet.
That stewardess was shocked and frozen there for a long time. After that, she just squeezed out a professional smile and ran
towards the service area.
