Chapter 345: Like Father, Like Son
Seven Sins System Chapter 345. Like Father, Like Son
"Alright then," Xalgrim confirmed, sealing our little agreement with a grin that matched mine.
"Okay, bye then," I said, practically bolting out of there. The sooner I got away from the grating wails of that mortal, the better. Her voice was like nails on a chalkboard, and I'd had enough for one day. With a flick of my hand, I made a portal and stepped into it.
The portal dropped me right into my office. This place was my sanctuary. But the sight waiting for me? Anything but the norm.
Sitting behind my desk was… well, me. Or rather, my doppelganger—my idiotic double, spinning around in my high-backed, expensive chair like a kid on a sugar high. Ivy stood beside him with a stack of paperwork, looking about as done with life as anyone could be.
I cringed, rubbing my temples. "What in the abyss is going on here?" I muttered under my breath, the words laced with sheer disbelief.
My double, clearly having the time of his life, finally noticed me standing there. He stopped spinning and shot me a cheeky grin. "Well, look who finally decided to show up," he said, his tone dripping with mockery. "Ivy here was trying to get me to enjoy paperwork, but I figured your fancy chair was a lot more entertaining."
I sighed, equal parts annoyed and amused. "You're supposed to manage the realm, not turn my office into a playground."
He shrugged, not missing a beat. "Relax, I've got it all under control. Besides, a little fun never hurt anyone, right?" He gave me a wink, like that was somehow supposed to reassure me.
