You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 231

“Hello, this is express delivery. I have some documents from the Martin Group that need Ms. Ruby’s signature.”

The delivery guy stood at the gate of the Martin family’s mansion, waving the envelope at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper remembered her orders. “Just give it to me. I’ll pass it on.”

“Sorry, I need Ms. Ruby to sign for it herself,” the delivery guy said, not backing down.

“Can’t you just call her?” The delivery guy looked desperate. “If I can’t deliver this, I’ll get a penalty.”

“We won’t complain,” the housekeeper said, still stubborn.

He shook his head. “Nothing.”

She figured as much.
