Serious thought though: What if Tim actually doesn’t do the expected and tries to turn her into a legitimate romantic option for Ethan?

Nah its still legal,it’s just the government takes a cut in the form of some fines. If it was actually illegal, youll see more executives in cuffs

Well well. There’s an out. Play monopoly with her and win honestly. Maybe with a ref third party to call out her BS. Nothing shows a person’s true colours than landing on a boardwalk with a hotel of the significant other.
