"Darling, you're back!" Elaine's voice rang out with excitement, her eyes lighting up as she dashed towards me the moment she caught sight of me entering headquarters.
It was as though she had been eagerly anticipating my return, her enthusiasm visible in the way she hurried towards me, a bright smile gracing her face.
"I'm home," I replied, returning her affection with a tight hug, feeling a sense of warmth in her embrace.
Inside the HQ
I had designated the highest floor of my residential building as our main base. It offered a view of the city and was equipped with all the necessities. Only my most trusted harem members were present here, each with assigned tasks to pass the time.
In my absence, they had grown quite bored, so I delegated various tasks to keep them occupied and feeling useful.
