Hi, I'm having a hard time trying to translate this expression. the sentence goes like this:
"... hasta que la empleada me bajó de la nubes con un reproche por mi distracción."
I was thinking something like "the employee put me down on earth...", but I just wanted to have some other opinions.
Than you
"... hasta que la empleada me bajó de la nubes con un reproche por mi distracción."

Than you
