As the day wore on, Emily remembered the favor she needed to ask. Gathering her courage, she broached the subject. "Liam, there's something I need to ask you."
Liam raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. "What is it?"
Emily took a deep breath. "I need your help with something important. There's a business deal I'm trying to secure, but I need legal advice and someone with your influence to make it happen."
Liam studied her for a moment, then nodded. "I'll help you, but on one condition."
Emily's heart raced. "What condition?"
"You stay with me," he said, his gaze unwavering. "No strings attached, just us for as long as this takes."
Emily hesitated, weighing her options. She needed his help, and there was no denying the attraction between them. Finally, she nodded. "Alright, I agree."
Liam smiled, satisfied. "Good. Let's make this work."
