When she came home, she was in tears.
My wife felt devastated, and so did I. I couldn’t believe someone could be so heartless as to tell someone they are ugly right in their face.
At that moment, I was so angry that I decided to teach that sell assistant a lesson.
I called my friend Mike, a handsome man who works as a talent scout, and told him about what had happened. He was in for a sweet revenge, so we headed to the store the following day, making sure that same sell-assistant was there.
When we entered, Mike introduced himself, and I pretended to be buying something. He talked to her about modeling and told her how he was looking for a new face for an upcoming campaign.
She appeared eager to make a good impression, groomed herself and struck poses, but after some time, just when Emma entered the store, Mike told the sell assistant, “Sorry, you are not what we are looking for.” He then turned to Emma, pretending to see her for the first time in his life, and said, “Miss, have you ever considered working as a model? You would be the perfect fit.”
Emma smiled, and the sales assistant was mad to receive a taste of her own medicine.
We all left the store, and while Emma felt a bit sorry for the woman, I knew she deserved it.
I wanted Emma to learn that her self-worth and self-confidence came from within and not from what others think of her.
