Legally, you can stay upto 6 months based on your I-94. But for future prospects, it is better if you can leave after you are done with your business so that you establish that you are not going to stay here which is needed for B1/B2 visitors.

Keep copies of your I-94 and departure boadring pass for future visa needs.
