After playfully yanking on Lily's dress, Danny immediately put on a stern face. “Lily, you said you had something important to talk about. What's up?” he asked.
“You're going to be my assistant!” Lily’s answer stopped Danny dead in his tracks.
“Your assistant?” he echoed, slightly baffled.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to?” she probed.
“Will I get paid?” he wondered aloud.
“Paid? Consider yourself lucky to be my assistant. I’m already doing you a favor by not charging you for the opportunity,” she said matter-of-factly.
Lily tossed the car keys to Danny with an authoritative air, “Since you’re my assistant now, you’re driving!”
Catching the keys, Danny was stunned to find the Ferrari emblem, the iconic prancing horse. “No way! A Ferrari! Lily, you’re loaded! With this kind of money, you’re totally a sugar mommy! Will you take care of me?” he asked mischievously.
“You scoundrel, isn’t Jessica taking good care of you already? You want me to do it too?” Lily retorted, half amused and half annoyed.
“The more, the merrier!” Danny quipped, flashing her a cheeky grin.
“Save it. Now drive!” Lily barked, hiding a smile as she settled into the passenger seat of the gleaming Ferrari.
After sliding the key into the ignition and grasping the steering wheel, Danny asked with a grin, “So Lily, where are we headed?”
“The Big Dipper,” she replied briefly.
“The Big Dipper?” Danny found the name curious, sensing there was something special about it. He probed further, “What place is that?”
“A great place,” Lily responded, keeping it mysterious.
