While Michael knew he probably shouldn’t have been reading over her shoulder he really couldn’t bring himself to feel bad about doing it. In the end he was actually kind of disappointed that he didn’t read more. But he knew that if Lisa wanted him to know what it was she’d tell and she proved it when she started talking about it to him. That solved the mystery for the most part then and he was content enough.
“Oh yeah... Your little beauty product line. From what you’ve said it seems to be going well. Are you revamping just to push sales up more?” He was used to seeing muggles do the same thing to sell their items. All they did was just barely change anything to their product, introduce it as new and improved and hike the price and that seemed to do the trick. He’d never really understood why people always wanted the new one even when they couldn’t explain what the difference between the old one and new one were.
He had to laugh at her explanation of the need for the gnome. “Definitely don’t want Padma on your case again. I doubt you’d hear the end of it and who knows if she’d try to get you in trouble for it.” He eyed her strangely when she asked if he wanted to volunteer. “Um... Let’s see.. I’m thinking that is a definite no. Thanks for asking though.”
He honestly had to wonder if anyone would volunteer to be a subject for her experiment. He guessed that she could probably do it in secret if no one volunteered... Not that he was going to mention that because knowing Lisa she’d either thought of it already or would eventually and would end up doing just that.
