I got pulled over in ORD couple of years ago - was dating someone there at the time and made several visits through the year, usually only 10 days at a time. When they queried why I was visiting, gave the usual "vacation" answer which was followed by how can I afford to visit so often - both financial and time of work - advised my salary and my annual leave (work for UK government and get total of 48 days including holidays plus flexi) which didnt go down well, as I know many US will fall over at that !
Anyway I get cleared and see that the problem was that although you get the stamp when you go into the country - it was appearing I was there every 2-3 months, so they may have thought was over staying nearly the 90 days, flying back to UK then back out again.
Funny thing was I left ORD week after being questioned, then flew back to MIA a week later and was welcomed with open arms!

Who do you work for?
What do you do?
What is the purpose of your visit this time?
How long will you be in the United States?
I would answer something like "Oh, just the usual business meetings with my US-based colleagues and a few customers. I'll be here for two weeks this time".
I guess it helps working for a large Multi-National company with its HQ in the USA.
