Emma, my wife, has always been a strong, stylish woman who loves fashion more than anyone else. She knew it was the right time for her when she saw a “Now Hiring” sign at a nearby underwear store. But what happened next made her feel depressed and down on her luck.

The young woman who worked at the store, who was rude, looked Emma over several times before hitting her hard. She said, “You’re not pretty enough for this job,” and her voice was full of contempt. She was shocked, and when she got home, I could see the sadness and anger in her eyes.

When I heard what had happened, I was very angry. My wife shouldn’t have felt like she wasn’t good enough. I chose to do something, so I asked my friend Mike, who works as a talent scout in the fashion business, to help me.

We came up with a way to teach the store clerk how to be humble. Mike pretended to be an expert in the fashion business, and I pretended to be a customer. The store clerk thought we were real because we were so good at our parts.
