The electric doors silently separated, and as Ari entered, he felt as if he was in the wrong building.
White marble floors with grey and gold vines running throughout.
A bubbling crystal fountain was in the center of the lobby space, with creature-shaped waterspouts shooting water over the mermaid sculpture at the center of the fountain.
Large flowering bushes encircled the fountain, marble pillars lined the walls, and a large skylight let in bright sunlight to illuminate the lobby.
With the sweet smell in the air and barely audible classical music playing, Ari felt like he had entered some rich executive hotel instead of a company building lobby.

He felt as if he were in one of the many Vegas hotels and casinos that his father had taken him to when he went on business trips.
