Rachel waved to Sydney, the concierge; Ash followed suit while explaining to Gemma who he was. Gemma listened, gawping open-mouthed at the surroundings. They walked towards a large glass water fountain and along a wide hallway paved with grey marble to the far end where Rachel pressed the intercom next to a large mahogany door.Leon was standing in his kitchen when he heard the intercom buzz. Placing his whisky down on the island he walked over to the intercom and pressed the view button. Three figures appeared on the screen.Gemma was astonished as Leon’s face popped up on the intercom screen in front of her.‘Hiya, buzz us in, babe,’ said Rachel.There was a buzz and the door clicked open. They walked inside and Gemma nearly fell over as she stepped into the entrance hall, her eyes fixed on the enormous stairway in front of her then looked up at the futuristic chandelier hanging from the ceiling above them.‘Hello girlies,’ Leon emerged from the side of the stairs then kissing each of them and welcoming Gemma into his flat, offering them all a drink.
