You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 545

“You mean the guest room manager here at the hotel?”

As Patricia said this, Nina glanced around, like she half-expected Patricia to pop up nearby.

But she was nowhere in sight.

“So, what exactly does Mr. Martin want me to do?”

“Just ask him: If you need someone else’s money to buy a house, are you looking for a new dad or something?”

“That’s it?” Nina couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
