Zack turned to look at Daryl. He also wanted to know who the newcomer beside her was.
"Oh! She is my new assistant, Ann."
With her eyes wide open, Daryl cast a mysterious look at Benjamin and asked, "Do you know how she's become my assistant?"
Her tone and mysterious expression gave people a sense of horror. It was no wonder that Daryl had won the Best Actress Award.
"How?" Benjamin asked as he cupped his chin and looked at her in surprise.
He was playing along.
"I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone else about it."
Then, Daryl whispered in his ear, "She was sent to me by Huangfu Entertainment's CEO."
"What? Really?" Surprised and disbelief were painted on Benjamin's face as he looked at her.
"Yes!" Daryl nodded.
The mother and son were talking happily, but Zac was furious as the two of them completely ignored him.
'Daryl and Benjamin are talking something behind my back! I can't believe it!' he thought.
"Daddy, let me tell you something!" Upon seeing his father's livid expression, Benjamin decided to tell him what Daryl had told him.
The little boy was just as exaggerated as Daryl.
"Do you want to know how Mommy got her new assistant? She's a gift from the CEO of Huangfu Entertainment!"
Zack couldn't help but grind his teeth.
'Is Benjamin really my son? Why is he acting like an idiot?
But then again, why did Lyman suddenly become so kind to Daryl?'
As he thought of this, he glanced at his son.
Pretending not to see his father's suspicious stare, Benjamin continued, "Mommy, why did he do that? Did you sign a contract with him?"
"Not yet."
Daryl shook her head and stretched out a slender hand to support her chin. She thought for a moment before stating, "Sofia said I should consider signing a contract with their company, and he also gave me a caravan!"
"Really?"
Benjamin beamed as he touched his chin again. He didn't expect his uncle to be so considerate.
Now, Zack was one hundred percent sure that Lyman knew something. So, he took out his phone and began to question several people about it.
It wasn't hard for him to find out that Lyman had indeed gone to Benjamin. He guessed that Benjamin must have told Lyman to treat Daryl well.
Daryl signing a contract with Huangfu Entertainment wasn't a terrible idea, so Zack made peace with the fact that Lyman gave her a caravan.
Their car soon arrived at a high-end Japanese restaurant.
The shop manager personally came out to welcome them and led them to sit in a comfortable private room.
"Yeah! Mommy, you can order the dishes for us."
With the menu in his tiny hands, Benjamin approached Daryl. "Mommy, what do you like to eat?"
Studying the menu, Daryl thought about the dishes that Leon often ate.
It only took her one second to quickly remove those thoughts from her mind, and then she told him her favorite food.
Zack ended up ordering a variety of dishes. He wasn't a fan of Japanese food and usually preferred Chinese and Western meals.
During the meal, Daryl and Benjamin also ate a lot.
