CO., 50 N.Y.2d 265, 269–73, 428 N.Y.S.2d 890, 892–94, 406 N.E.2d 747, 749–51 (1980), the process-server went to defendant’s office where he was greeted by a receptionist. The receptionist told him to proceed down a certain corridor and to “see the girl sitting down there.” Following instructions, the process-server went to the executive secretary of the vice president in charge of the New York office. She asked to see the papers and after perusing them said: “Okay, leave it with me. * * * I’ll take it.” When the processserver questioned her authority, she responded: “I can take it.”
