A store assistant dared to reduce MY wife to tears with her cruel words. This malicious act stemmed from my spouse simply seeking a job at her workplace. Upon hearing Emma’s heartbreaking tale, I knew action had to be taken. What I did would make sure she never mistreated anyone like that again!

This story is about the delicious taste of justice. I’m Thomas, and my wife Emma is a beacon of fashion. Her wardrobe, brimming with exquisite outfits, speaks volumes of her keen style sense. Trust me, she’s a true fashionista!
Adorning me every day is her joy, not because of any gender roles, but because it’s her passion. And frankly, I look amazing every single time. Who could complain about that?

Emma’s career path had many twists, from receptionist and briefly a nurse, to experimenting with art. Yet, her heart longed for one thing – fashion. Recently, she decided to chase this passion and find a retail job that aligned with her interests.
One emotional evening, she came home with tears glistening down her cheeks. She recounted her ordeal at a well-known lingerie store she walked into one afternoon, prompted by a “Now Hiring” sign.

Excitedly, she recalled, “I marched in, ready to inquire! But nothing prepared me for the horror that unfolded.” She disclosed her diminishing enthusiasm when the sales assistant, standing behind the counter, finally acknowledged her presence.
Emma, with enthusiasm still lingering, asked about the application process. The assistant sized her up disdainfully, then, with an icy tone, dismissed her with words that stung deeply:
“Look, hun, you’re not pretty enough for this job. NO CHANCE. Don’t even bother applying, okay?”

Emma returned home, barely able to speak, shattered and emotionally bruised by that harsh remark. It was agonizing to see her in such despair, her tears reflecting sheer heartbreak.
I held her close, trying to mend those wounds. “Don’t let her words hurt you, love. You’re beautiful, talented, and much more than her shallow judgment,” I reassured. “But why would she do this?” Emma wept. “I only wanted a job, not to be insulted.”

“My angel, she’s a narrow-minded person,” I comforted, concealing my growing fury. How dare someone inflict such pain on Emma? That was when I decided enough was enough. This sales assistant needed to learn a lesson in humility she wouldn’t forget!

Within days, I formed a cunning plan. I called my friend Mike from the fashion industry for help, and he agreed instantly. “Unbelievable! Let’s give her a taste of her own medicine,” Mike said.
The scheme was ready. Dressed impeccably, thanks to Emma’s stylish touch, I strode into the store. I had ensured that the same assistant was on duty. Pretending to browse, I awaited the right moment. When there were fewer customers, I approached with a friendly smile.

“Good afternoon, could you help me pick out something special for my wife?” I asked, her attitude flipping when recognizing a potential big sale. She eagerly showed me various items.
“Of course, sir! We have some fabulous pieces. What’s the special occasion?” she inquired, her tone sweetened. “Just a surprise for my wife. I want it to be perfect,” I said, playing the concerned husband.

“This set is very popular,” she suggested, holding a delicate lace set. “Do you think it would suit her?” I asked. “Oh, definitely! She’ll love it,” she assured, clearly eager for the sale.
“Can I see more options? I want to make sure it’s perfect,” I said, keeping her engaged. “So, how long have you worked here?”

“Six months. It’s a great job if you fit the look,” she replied. I nodded. “Do they hire often?”
“Only selectively. They’re picky about appearances,” she bragged. After thirty minutes, I excused myself, pretending to call Emma but instead called Mike. He arrived swiftly, ready for his role.

We reentered the store, and Mike introduced himself. “Hi, I’m Mike Gladstone, a talent scout for a major fashion brand,” he started.
Mike looked around approvingly. “This store seems like a goldmine for fresh talent. Do you have anyone fitting the bill here?”

The assistant’s eyes lit up. “Well, I’ve been told I have the right look,” she said, assuming it was her moment.
Mike appraised her critically before shaking his head. “Sorry, but you don’t fit what we seek. We need someone who truly stands out,” he said. She was visibly crushed!

Before she could respond, Mike turned to me. “What about you? Ever considered modeling?” His words stunned her.
Smiling, I replied, “No, but I know someone perfect for your campaign – my wife, Emma. She’s stunning inside and out.”

“I’d love to meet her,” Mike agreed. I faced the assistant, now pale with shock, and delivered the final blow:
“Funny how perceptions can be so misleading. Maybe next time, you won’t judge someone by their looks.”

We walked out with her eyes boring holes in our backs. Emma met Mike, and while she didn’t become a model, the experience boosted her confidence immensely.
“How was it?” I asked her later. “Amazing! Mike was wonderful,” she beamed. “He saw potential in me.

“You’re incredible, darling!” I said, hugging her. That night, we enjoyed dinner, and Emma, holding my hand, whispered, “I can’t believe you did that for me.”
“Anything for you, my love. Never let anyone make you feel less than you are,” I vowed.
A week later, at the shopping center, Emma walked with renewed confidence. We passed by the lingerie shop, seeing the assistant still there, recovering from the shock.

“Shall we browse?” I teased. She chuckled, “I’ve had enough of that store for a lifetime!” We walked on, hand in hand, knowing true revenge is lifting those we love and showing them their true worth.
