"Anything?" Maxim's eyes gleamed in excitement. He patted Emmelyn's back and said, "Be careful with your words. Don't promise something to other people so easily. What if they take advantage of you?"
Emmelyn looked at Maxim deeply and replied, "Would you take advantage of me, Max?"
The man went silent. He looked at her and saw such a deep trust, that he would feel embarrassed if he betrayed her and took advantage of her situation to get his own benefit.
"No. I would never take advantage of you," he uttered his words like a sincere vow.
"I know you can trust you. That's why I feel comfortable enough to grant you whatever you ask of me in exchange for helping me so much," Emmelyn explained. "I think it's only fair."
"Okay, if you think so." Maxim smiled reassuringly. "Then, I will think carefully about what I want from you - not that I am doing things for you because I want something in return."
