You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 68

The whole room burst into laughter, everyone piling on with teasing remarks.

“Patricia’s already out of your way. Someone like Nina? Please, Ruby, she’s just a fresh grad—totally naive, not even worth your attention.”

“Seriously! You’ve had Mr. Newton wrapped around your finger for years.”

Ruby flashed a smug, unstoppable smile. She and Theo had been together since they were kids—twenty years of history. No one was going to threaten that.

They were still gossiping when the private room door opened and a server stepped in, balancing a tray with just one envelope on it.

“Ms. Martin, someone dropped this off at the front desk for you,” he announced.

Ruby frowned. “What is it?”

The server shook his head. “No idea, ma’am.”

“Just get rid of it. I don’t want anything right now.” The media had been relentless lately, and Ruby wasn’t about to risk accepting something suspicious.

“Oh, come on! It’s just an envelope. Hand it over—I’ll check it out,” said Ruby’s best friend next to her, reaching for it.

The server hesitated, looking to Ruby for the go-ahead. She nodded, so he set the tray down in front of her friend.

Her friend tore open the envelope, but as soon as she saw what was inside, her smile froze.

“What’s in there?” someone asked, curious.

Her friend quickly shoved the photo back in. “It’s nothing,” she said, a little too fast.

That only made Ruby more suspicious. She snatched the envelope and pulled out the photo herself—and her heart dropped.

Two bodies, completely naked, tangled up in bed. Nina and Theo.
