On the Topic of Trouble

Victoria Garcia was quite surprised.

She walked forward, and Arnold Johnson turned around to meet her.

"Thank you for today," Victoria said politely, with a smile on her face.

Seeing her pleasing smile, Arnold felt happy. No matter how she tried to please him, as long as she was willing, he would be happy because it meant that she was starting to care about him.

"How is your sister feeling?"

"Once I get the video back, she'll probably be jumping with joy."

"I'd like to see you jumping with joy sometime."

"..."

Victoria intertwined her slender fingers, turned slightly, and asked Arnold, "If I were to bring trouble to myself, would it trouble you?"

"Even if you bombed Metropolis, I would be behind you, passing you ammunition." He said with a slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

For the first time, Victoria thought that smile was incredibly handsome.

"Then I can be at ease."

She visibly let out a sigh of relief.
