"Him? He's here on a business trip with his family. If I filed a complaint, he'd be done for."
Luis spoke in a doting tone and patted her head. Maria blushed but didn't refuse the intimate gesture. In fact, the feeling of being protected and cherished today was especially wonderful.
"Remember this from now on, little one—there are still plenty of bad people in society. Someone like David being righteous today isn't because he's a good person; it's because that bastard has a weakness I can exploit."
"Got it, thank you, Luis."
Maria blinked her big eyes and said, "Brother, let me treat you to dinner tonight, okay?"
"Another day. I already promised to treat that bastard David to dinner tonight."
"Then let me go with you. I can't let you spend money because of my issue."
"Alright, see you in a bit!"
She's quite thoughtful, Luis thought to himself before agreeing. After saying goodbye to her, he headed straight home.
