Me Before You

Chapter 16

When Anna Stark fell asleep, Daniel Taylor went back to his study and turned on the computer screen. The video call on the computer’s screen showed Jack Smith's face.

"Mr. Taylor, I have collected all the information that you have asked for."

"Well." Daniel Taylor slowly tapped his long fingers on the table, "What Anna did today?"

"Miss. Anna Stark started working as a part-time waitress in the restaurant of Green Edge Hotel," Jack Smith reported.

Green Edge Hotel?

That Taylor's hotel?

After hearing this, Daniel Taylor didn't say anything. He turned off the computer and pushed the wheelchair and went back to the bedroom.

The next day, when Anna Stark woke up Daniel Taylor had already left for work. She was relieved and got ready for her work.

She came to the hotel, changed her work clothes and started her work. At that time, her colleague beside her pulled her hand and said: "Anna, do you know that the Young Master, who is the owner of the hotel will come today?"

Young Master?

Anna Stark shook her head. She came here to work. She didn't have time to care about any Young Master.

But the colleague looked very excited. "I hear that the Prince is about your age, tall and handsome. We all are looking forward to him!"

Anna Stark smiled. She already had a handsome man in her life. She didn’t want to see any other men.

Anna was working when she saw the manager led a boy inside. Her colleagues were busy looking at him. Anna also looked up and saw a familiar figure coming towards them. That slender and straight figure, cool and proud temperament, at a glance she recognized, John Peter!

John Peter also saw Anna Stark. He was surprised, "Anna Stark, why are you here?"

"Young Master Peter, do you know her?" The manager asked.

"Does this restaurant have any criteria to hire people?" John asked angrily, "No matter who is he? Anyone can come in?"

At first, the manager thought that Anna Stark was a friend of John Peter. After listening to his question, he quickly wiped his sweat and said, "The restaurant’s short of staff. While recruiting people, I think they didn't carefully examine. If you find anyone inappropriate, we can fire them at the spot."

Due to their breakup and Anna’s marriage with his uncle, John Peter was extremely angry with her. He shook his head, said nothing and asked the manager to take him to other places for inspection.

Anna Stark looked at his angry appearance and his reaction. She was confused, it was he who broke up with her. She should be angry, but he was showing her his anger. What was the problem with him?

When a colleague saw this scene, she tried to gossip with Anna, but Anna dismissed her with a sentence: "We were classmates, and I have offended him in the past." Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

...

During the lunch break, Anna Stark had dinner in the staff’s restaurant. When she was eating lunch, John Peter suddenly came to her, grabbed her hand, went into the dressing room and locked the door.

Anna Stark didn't know what he wanted to do. She said in a loud voice, "John Peter, what are you doing?"

John Peter stared at her fiercely. "You deliberately stay close to me, and you have married my uncle, so I want to ask you what you want to do?"

"When did I deliberately come closer to you?" Anna Stark was angry with his question.

"You had a relationship with me. You came here to work in my hotel and marry my uncle. All these are just coincidences? Do you think I'm stupid?" Claire had been saying all these bad things about Anna Stark to John Peter. His mind was full of negative thoughts for Anna.

"Stay away from my uncle," he said.

Isabella Brown has hurt him once. He didn't want to see his uncle again being hurt by Anna Stark.

"But why?" Anna asked.

They've broken up!

He had no right to say anything to her.

"You don't like my uncle. You are hurting him by being with him." John said.

"Who told you that I don't like Daniel Taylor?"
