Me Before You novel Chapter 179

"Good Afternoon, Mr. Jack Smith." The receptionist looked at Jack Smith with a guilty heart. He didn’t expect this girl really came to meet Jack Smith.

She had a bad feeling felt that she had caused a lot of trouble for herself.

Actually the women who usually come to meet Jack Smith were mostly dressed in fancy clothes. But most of the time Jack Smith refused to meet them. How she would have expected that this ordinary looking girl had a chance?

Jack Smith looked at Anna and said, "Is it too far from your university?"

"Not so far." Anna said, "I took the subway and reached here easily."

"Madam, next time please tell me if you want to come here. I will send someone to pick you up." He said this because Mr. Taylor had given him this responsibility, since Anna’s first day of university. If Mr. Taylor will come to know that Anna came here alone by subway, he will surely get scolded.

Anna said, "I didn’t want to give you the trouble. I know you must be busy..."

Jack Smith said, "No matter how busy I am, it’s my responsibility. Come on, let’s go up first!"

The front desk receptionist hurriedly came forward to help them pressing the elevator. She looked at Anna and apologized. "I’m sorry about what happened. I don’t know you are Mr. Smith’s friend."

Her expression was particularly awkward. After all, she just said that Jack Smith didn’t meet people like her, but now she had seen Jack Smith talking with Anna very respectfully.

If she didn’t apologize at this time and Anna complained to Jack Smith, what would have happen?

Anna looked at the front desk and smiled, "It is okay."

Nowadays, people just see outward appearance, it wasn’t an unexpected incident. If she began to care about all these people, she would die with anger every day.

"What’s the matter?" Jack Smith asked.

"Nothing." Anna calmly shook her head.

Jack Smith looked at the guilt appearance of the receptionists and understood what was going on.

"You don’t have to come to work tomorrow," Jack Smith looked at the receptionist and ordered her.

The receptionist heard Jack Smith’s words and felt as thunderous as thunder. "Mr. Smith, I didn’t mean it. I just didn’t know that she was your friend, otherwise I wouldn’t be rude to her."

Jack Smith looked at her receptionist. "She’s my friend or not, it shouldn’t matter to you. How can you set this thing as a criterion to be rude to others? The front desk is the most important place in the company. If you behave with others like this, what people think about us?"

The things Jack Smith’s said was totally reasonable, the receptionist was really embarrassed.

She lowered her head and wanted to explain, she just opened her mouth, "I..." but her voice was interrupted by the sound of the elevator.

Jack Smith led Anna into the elevator and left the receptionist standing there alone.

Anna looked at Jack Smith’s appearance and said, "I just found out that you are also very strict!"

Jack Smith raised his eyebrows and said, "Who asks her to be this much unreasonable?"

Fortunately, Mr. Taylor didn’t know about it. Otherwise, not only the receptionist but he will also have to bear his anger. Therefore, it was better to fire the front desk earlier, so as to avoid causing him trouble.

The elevator stopped and they went out of the elevator. Anna followed Jack Smith and turned to the conference room.

Just after the meeting, Daniel Taylor was the only one in the big conference room. He was staring on the computer and was thinking about something important when Anna’s voice suddenly sounded, "Sir, I’m back."

Daniel Taylor looked up and saw Anna standing at the door.

This... is this Hallucination?

When Anna saw that he was staring at herself in a daze, she couldn’t help asking, "Do I look so beautiful?"

Daniel Taylor coughed and turned his gaze to the computer screen as if he didn’t expect to see her at all. He tried to ask calmly, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

"I guess you must be missing me, so I come here to meet you." Anna walked to him, sat on the chair beside him, and stared at him with her big eyes. "You missed me? Or didn’t?"
