"Oh, I will keep that in mind. So, what do you do, besides going to parties and living off your parents money?" Michael asked.
"Oh you know, the usual. I go to charity events, try to see how much money I can spend, and I also have started my own company. I own it under a corporation name, so it can't be traced directly back to me easily. I make enough money from my own company and my investments that I no longer rely on my parents for any financial needs. But please keep that quiet, I am sure you understand how important it is to have a little privacy in your life." Lisa told him.
"That is really great. I am pleasantly surprised. I had pegged you for just one more heiress that loved her parties and drinking, you just didn't get caught like some of the others in your group." Michael said.
"I am used to people assuming that. I really am not into the party scene. I go out at times, but for me I would rather be at home dressed like this, relaxing with a book. I have gotten into charity work, especially SIDS research. There has been some progress made, but we still are not sure what the cause is." She loved to talk about her work to help families affected by the tragedy of SIDS.
"I have heard a bit about that, but I confess I am not an expert on it. What got you interested in this?" Michael seemed to be interested.
"It is going to sound cheesy, but the woman we had working for us was pregnant when she started. I sort of became attached to her, and when she had the baby, I fell in love with him. Then when he was seven months old, he died in his sleep. The doctors could find nothing wrong with him, and so it was listed as SIDS. I couldn't believe the little boy I had held earlier that day had just died for no reason, so I started to do research. I was appealed at the number of children who died each year of this. Otherwise healthy infants just stop breathing in their sleep. I felt this was unacceptable and decided if I had any pull in this life, I was going to do whatever I could to help with the research." Lisa said "I am really impressed. Not many people would care about an employee's child, much less to the point you have gone to. I couldn't imagine having a child and losing them in such a way." Michael said.
