There were piles of documents in front of Axion that needed to be processed today. The deputy who just entered the room left another stack of paper on his desk.
Axion looked bored and criticized the deputy, saying, "You can't handle this much alone, you're incompetent."
However, as always, there was only a vague answer, "It's something that the chief must check in person."
The deputy's face was soaked in blood, so Axion just shook his hand and let him out.
"I'd like you to keep it short. As you can see, I'm very busy."
Axion spoke heartlessly without even raising his head.
"I'm sorry, I haven't seen my only son in a long time, and I'm not able to come out and give him a hug."
The guest who visited him strode into the office and criticized him disapprovingly.
She was Jane Non, Axion's mother and former head of Bergett.
It wasn't until then that Axion looked dumbfounded when he heard her.
He pulled one side of his mouth and smiled crookedly.
"How old do you think I am? I didn't do that even when I was 15 years younger than now."
As he said, Axion was a child without any cuteness even when he was young.
Of course, he was born with only good parents' good qualities, especially when he was young.
Perhaps because he was so intimidated by the elders around him, Axion had a problem with such things.
But if Axion is now happy with what She have discussed. He couldn't have liked it.
Jane Non was also sick of such ticklish behaviour.
So, in the end, it was just a try.
"Well, you've only been cute since you were young. If you had resembled your father, it would have been much better."
Jane Non said so and went to the sofa in the middle of the office and settled down.
It was a straight and refreshing face that revealed her personality.
Her sharp eyes, high nose, and languid-looking mouth resembled Axion very much.
The colour of her hair and eyes are the same, so if Axion's sex is a woman, and he's a little older. He wondered if he would have turned out that same way.
Axion gave a small smile and called the employee to bring out something for him.
After a while, the employee's hand was accompanied by familiar objects.
"Well, you've managed very well."
When Jane Non praised him, the employee was shyly pleased.
She left it to Bergett and asked satisfactorily for the pipe she used every time she visited.
Axion stopped what he was doing and leaned his back deeply on the chair after checking the documents he had seen before.
Following his tilting head, his dark hair scattered across the collar of his top-buttoned white shirt.
Jane Non smokes a cigarette, not a spicy and disgusting smell, but a subtle scent of herbs spread through the office.
Whether it worked, the hard air that floated in the office was slightly relaxed.
"Did you sleep?"
Somehow, Jane Non asked her regards as if worried.
"Well, that's about it."
