She Entered Her Own Store Dressed Modestly And Faced Humiliation. When They Realized Who She Was…
“You can’t treat her like this. She is a person and deserves respect.” “A person with no money, you mean?” Pamela interrupted.
“That doesn’t matter. She must be treated kindly just like everyone else.” Sophia said, and looking at the woman, she said: “You are most welcome here, Madam. Come with me; I’ll show you the store.”
The two witches were left behind, enraged. “What kind of shoes are you looking for?” Asked Sophia to the businesswoman.
Adrian, a bit stunned by everything that was happening, decided to keep on playing the role of a poor woman to see how far that situation would go. She wanted to evaluate how the service in her store really was.
“I’m looking for a stiletto heel, my dear.” Said the businesswoman.
“Perfect! I have a beautiful model here, Valentino style, that was just released. I think you’ll love it.” Said Sophia kindly and smiling.
But when the young woman picked up the shoe and asked Adrian if she wanted to try it on, the two witches ran to the manager’s office and made a scene.
“Mrs. Lucy, there’s this horrible woman in the store, and that idiot Sophia is giving her a Valentino to wear! She herself is helping the filthy woman to put on the sandal on her dirty feet!” Said the witches.
Lucy immediately stormed out of her office and, furious at Sophia, berated the young woman in front of the businesswoman. She didn’t mince words to say how poor and dirty that woman was.
Lucy added that that situation would make the store look shabby and that that woman shouldn’t wear such expensive shoes. “Are you crazy, Sophia? She will get the shoes all dirty! No one will want to buy them! Can you afford them in case she breaks it?” Lucy said, screaming.
“Do you have any idea how much this sandal costs? A Valentino costs more than you and your entire family earn in a month. Send that woman away now!” The poor girl got up and defended the businesswoman, saying: “But boss, we have to treat all customers equally. She also deserves respect.”
“But she’s not a customer, you dumbass! Look at her! Do you think she can afford to buy anything here? She wouldn’t even buy a pen, let alone an expensive sandal!” Replied the impatient manager.
Pamela added: “Yeah, you stupid. Not even you, with your shitty salary, can buy anything here. Do you really think that filthy woman would have the money?”
So Lucy, irritated, approached the woman and pulled her arm hard, saying: “Come on, I’ll take you to the exit since you don’t realize that you don’t belong here.”
Adrian started to resist, saying that she wasn’t going to leave, but the other two employees rushed to help the manager expel her at all costs. But young Sophia didn’t give up helping the woman and tried to stop them.
“I’m sure the shop owner thinks differently than you do. When she arrives, ask her and you’ll see. She will tell us to treat everyone the same.” “When she arrives, you won’t be here anymore, you incompetent! You’re fired!” Lucy said, cold and dry.
“Do you really think a successful businesswoman like her would want to see that garbage in her store? Now get the hell out of here, you and that filthy woman!” The young woman fell to her knees and, starting to cry, begged the manager not to fire her.
She really needed that job. Her mother was sick and needed very expensive treatment.
But Lucy, firm and tough as always, laughing at the young woman, declared: “I don’t care, and I’m going to make sure you never work in any luxury shoe store again.”
“You’re not firing anyone here.” She said. “Lucy, how do you know my name, you filth? And who do you think you are?” Answered the manager, angry.
Then, taking a step forward, the businesswoman introduced herself: “I am the owner of this store and your boss, Adrian. And now, you’re the one who’s fired.”
She showed her ID, and Lucy, widening her eyes, could not believe. The witches Pamela and Jennifer dropped their jaws on the floor.
The hag, astonished, asked: “But how is this possible? I could never have guessed it was you since you’re wearing those clothes.”
“Appearances can be deceiving, Lucy.” Replied the millionaire. “No, please! Leave my store.”
The manager started stuttering and apologizing to her boss. She begged on her knees for her job.
“But boss, please! I’ve been working here for years. You… you can’t fire me. I’m the best manager you’ll ever find.”
But Adrian was furious at the treatment she had received, and looking deep into the manager’s eyes, she said: “I’m going to make sure you never work in any luxury shoe store again.”
Lucy fell back on the floor. She was helpless.
Adrian turned to the two witches, Pamela and Jennifer, and also fired them. “Get your things and go. You are the worst kind of people. I never want to see them here again.”
The hags wept and begged for mercy, but Adrian had already made up her mind. And so, the three bad employees left the shop humiliated.
Turning to Sophia, who was still perplexed, Adrian asked her to get up from the floor and started talking to the young woman. “And you, young lady, are you all right? I am very proud of how well you took care of me, no matter what I looked like.”
The girl couldn’t believe that she was actually talking to the boss. She was shy, and looking down, she noticed the sandals that the rich woman was wearing and ended up saying a little awkwardly: “Funny, I had sandals that looked exactly like these. I wore it until I nearly broke them.”
“I got it at a thrift store nearby before coming here. The kind lady there gave them to me because I had just broken my heels and couldn’t walk properly with them.” Said the businesswoman.
“Mrs. Tanya’s thrift store? She is my mother!” Asked Sophia, who for a moment forgot her shyness and got all excited.
The young woman cried emotionally and thanked her boss with great joy. The powerful woman also stated that from that day on, Sophia would be her new sales manager and that her salary would be increased so that she could give her mother a decent life.
Sophia was stunned and cried even harder. She couldn’t be happier.
The young woman would have all the necessary training and would also be responsible for hiring other employees for the store. “I want more people like you here at Sky Shoes—honest, kind people who see all customers as equals, treating everyone well. And I would also like to help Mrs. Tanya’s thrift shop, who was so good to me.” Adrian said, smiling at the girl.
Adrian donated a huge amount to the thrift shop, making it grow out of the old woman’s garage and into a much larger store. Everyone was happy, and Adrian went on with her career, being a kind person who spread joy to everyone..
