Marriage Contract with a Stripper
review the contract." "Of course," Alex replied smoothly, as if he had expected nothing less. "Take as much time as you need, but as I mentioned before, my business deal is time-sensitive.
y a receptionist who led her to a small conference room. A few minutes later, a middle-aged lawyer with sharp eyes and a firm handshake entered the room. "Ms. Monroe, I'm James Carter. I understand you have a contract you'd like me to review." "Yes," Liv replied, handing over the folder with the contract inside. "It's a bit... unconventional, but I need to make sure everything is in order before I agree to it." James nodded as he took the folder, his expression professional and focused. "I'll take a look and go over the details with you. Please, have a seat." Liv sat down, her nerves fraying as she watched James flip through the pages of the contract. His expression remained neutral, but every now and then, he would pause to make a note or raise an eyebrow at something in the document. After what felt like an eternity, James closed the folder and looked up at Liv. "This is certainly a unique situation," he said, choosing his words carefully. "The contract is well-drafted and covers all the essential points. The financial terms are generous, and there are clear provisions for early termination if either party wishes to end the arrangement before the year is up."

She had expected complications, hidden clauses, something that would make this even more difficult than it already was. But knowing that the contract was solid made it easier to move forward. "I'll have the amended version ready for you to review by tomorrow," James said as he stood up. "Once you've made your decision, we can go over the final details and ensure everything is in order." Liv stood as well, shaking his hand. "Thank you, Mr. Carter. I appreciate your help." James nodded, giving her a reassuring smile. "Take your time, Ms. Monroe. This is a significant decision, and it's important that you feel confident in your choice."
