The lift doors opened with a quiet ding. I stepped out first, leading the girls to my flat.
Claire's eyes widened the moment she stepped into the hallway. Her ponytail swished as she spun around in awe, taking in the glossy flooring and the warm, ambient lighting. "Woahhh! This place screams 'rich boy,' Austin!"
Natasha followed quietly but couldn't hide the glint of admiration in her eyes. "It's... impressive," she murmured, adjusting her glasses.
Maya, the only one who had been here before, stayed calm, a small smirk playing on her lips as she trailed behind the others.
Finally, we reached my door. With a small click, I unlocked it and pushed it open. "Welcome to my humble house," I said, stepping aside to let them in.
Claire darted in first, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "This isn't humble at all! Look at this place! Dim lights, soft wallpapers, and everything spotless—it's so spacious too!"
