A store assistant dared to bring MY wife to tears by being mean. She did that all because my spouse sought employment at the establishment she worked at. After hearing my wife’s tale, I took action to redress the situation. What I did ensured that the assistant would think twice when addressing anyone else!
This is an exciting tale about pure and sweet revenge! My name is Thomas, and Emma, my wife, has ALWAYS had an eye for fashion. Her wardrobe is a testament to her impeccable taste. Not that I am biased or showing off, but my Emma knows all there is to know about the latest trends!
I mean, most days, she’s the one who dresses me. No, not because I am sexist and think it’s her job, but because she LOVES doing that. And to be honest, I look FANTASTIC each time, so I’m NOT complaining!
For years, my wife skirted around her true passion. She did all sorts of jobs. Like being a receptionist, and a nurse at one point (sadly short-lived), and even dabbled in art. But she still couldn’t find her place.
Recently, my beloved wife decided to turn her passion for fashion (see what I did there) into a career. She started actively searching for a job in retail. Her thinking was that it would fit perfectly with her interests.
When she got home all emotional one day, she told me the story of what happened. Emma explained that on that fateful day, she was at the shopping center in the afternoon. She then noticed a famous lingerie store with a “Now Hiring” poster on the window.
Excited, she revealed, “I immediately went inside to inquire! But boy, was I in for the shock of my life.” She shared how her excitement started dying down when she approached the sales assistant and tried to speak to her.
The rude woman didn’t even glance my wife’s way until she was DIRECTLY in front of her! A bit down but still quite enthusiastic, Emma asked about the job application process. Instead, the assistant looked her up and down with a sneer and an attitude. Then she delivered the stinging words:
“Look, hun, I don’t think you’re pretty enough for this job. NO CHANCE. Don’t even try, okay?”
Before calming down enough to be able to tell me her story, my lovely wife was in tears when she came home. She was heartbroken by the cruel remark. I’ve never seen my wife so utterly devastated before, and my heart broke seeing her that way.
I wrapped my arms around her, trying to console her. “My love, don’t let her get to you. You’re beautiful and talented. You’re worth so much more than her words,” I said softly. “But why would she say that?” Emma sobbed. “I just wanted to apply for a job. I didn’t deserve that.”
“She’s a small-minded person, my angel,” I tried consoling my wife. Seeing her so dejected made me FURIOUS! No one, and I mean NOBODY, should make my Emma feel this way, treat her that badly, and get away with it!
And you know what? As anger took over me, I figured it was high time someone showed that nasty assistant how wrong she was! I decided to give that sales assistant a lesson in humility she would NEVER forget!
Over the next couple of days, I concocted a plan. I reached out to my friend Mike, who works in the fashion industry, to get his help. Mike was more than willing to assist when he heard what had happened.
“That’s unbelievable, man. Of course, I’ll help. Let’s give her a taste of her own medicine,” Mike said over the phone. A few days later, my plan was set in motion. I dressed well, with the help of my Emma, and headed back to the lingerie store.
I had done my research enough to make sure the same sales assistant was working on that day. I then started pretending to browse the aisles, waiting for the perfect moment. When the store had only a few customers, I approached the assistant with a friendly smile.
“Hello, I’m looking to buy something special for my wife. Could you help me pick out a few things?” I asked. Her attitude changed immediately, seeing a potential big sale. She became attentive and started showing me various items.
“Absolutely, sir! We have a fantastic selection. What’s the occasion?” she asked, her tone now sweet as we went around the store. “Just a surprise for my wife. I want to get her something really special,” I replied, pretending to be thoughtful.
“Great! How about this piece? It’s one of our most popular items,” she suggested, holding up a delicate lace set. “Do you think this would look good on her?” I asked, examining the lingerie. “Oh, definitely! It’s one of our best sellers. Your wife will love it,” she assured me.
“Can you show me a few more options? I want to make sure I get the perfect one,” I said, keeping her engaged. As she showed me more pieces, I made small talk to keep her invested. “So, how long have you been working here?” I inquired.
I Accidentally Saw an Unknown Number Message My Son’s Phone – The Truth behind It Left Me in Tears
Last week, while tidying up the living room, Meredith stumbled upon her son Edward’s phone with a mysterious message: “Are we still on for tonight?” Her heart sank as curiosity turned to dread, leading her to uncover a secret that left her in tears.
Last week, I was tidying up the living room when I found an unexpected surprise. While fluffing the couch cushions, I discovered Edward’s phone wedged deep between them. I picked it up, ready to set it aside for him.

As I held the phone, it suddenly vibrated in my hand. A message flashed on the screen: “Are we still on for tonight?” My heart skipped a beat. Edward is married, and this number wasn’t familiar.
Curiosity got the better of me, and I stared at the phone, feeling a mix of confusion and worry. What could this mean? Why would someone send him this message? Just as I was about to put the phone down, another message popped up: “Can’t wait to see you again, love.”

My heart sank. The thought that my son might be unfaithful was devastating. Doubts filled my mind. Was my son hiding something? I needed to know the truth.
Lately, I’ve felt out of place in my own family. Edward, my son, was always busy, going out more often. Each time he left the house, I felt a pang of loneliness. He used to share everything with me, but now, there was a distance between us.

My husband, Robert, seemed more distant too. He spent a lot of time absorbed in his own activities. Our conversations had become brief and superficial. We used to be so close, sharing our thoughts and dreams. Now, it felt like we were just two people living under the same roof.
I missed the days when we were all so connected. When Edward was younger, he would confide in me about his school, his friends, and his dreams.
Robert and I would plan our future together, excited about our plans and adventures. But now, it seemed like they both had their own worlds, and I was no longer a part of them.

This feeling of isolation was heavy. I felt like an outsider in my own home. I yearned for the closeness we once had. The fear of being left behind by the people I loved most consumed me. I just wanted to feel connected again, to be a part of their lives, and not just a bystander.
I decided not to jump to conclusions. I needed more information. The next evening, Edward mentioned he was heading out. He seemed relaxed, but I was on edge. My mind was racing with questions.
“Where are you going?” I asked, trying to sound casual.
“Just out for a bit, Mom,” he replied with a smile.

As he left, I grabbed my keys. I had to know the truth. I followed him discreetly, keeping a safe distance. My heart pounded in my chest. Anxiety and concern swirled inside me.
What if he saw me? What if I found out something I didn’t want to know? Each turn he took increased my dread. I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my palms sweating. The drive felt like an eternity, and I struggled to keep my breathing steady.

Edward finally parked his car in front of a cozy little café. He stepped out, looking around as if expecting someone. My stomach churned as I watched from a distance. He walked inside, and I quickly found a spot where I could see without being seen.
Minutes felt like hours as I waited. My mind raced with possibilities. Was he meeting someone? Was it serious? I had to remind myself to stay calm and not assume the worst.

Then, I saw her. My best friend, Linda, walked in and greeted Edward with a hug. They sat down together, laughing and chatting like old friends. A wave of relief washed over me, but it was quickly replaced by confusion. What were they doing together?
I stayed hidden, watching their every move. They seemed so comfortable, so familiar. It didn’t make sense. The messages, the secrecy—what was going on? I needed answers, but I was too scared to confront them. Instead, I stayed in my hiding spot, hoping to piece together the truth without causing a scene.

As I prepared to confront Edward and Linda, my heart raced. I took a deep breath and started to walk towards them. But just then, I saw another familiar face—my husband, Robert. He walked into the café and joined them at the table.
My confusion grew. Why was Robert there? What was going on? I watched from my hiding spot as they all greeted each other warmly. Their faces were filled with excitement and joy.

I stayed hidden, trying to make sense of it all. They began talking animatedly, and I could see the excitement in their gestures. They pulled out some brochures and started discussing something earnestly. I couldn’t hear their words, but the enthusiasm was clear.
Linda showed a brochure to Edward, and he nodded eagerly. Robert pointed to something on the brochure, and they all leaned in closer to look.
They seemed to be planning something big and important. My anxiety started to ease as I watched them, but the confusion lingered. What could they be planning that involved all of them together?

My mind raced with possibilities. Were they planning a family trip? A surprise party? I couldn’t piece it together, but I decided to wait a bit longer before revealing myself. I needed to understand what was happening first.
As I watched them, I felt a mix of emotions — relief that it wasn’t what I had feared, and curiosity about what they were planning. I stayed hidden, my heart beating steadily, waiting for the right moment to step in and join the conversation.
My heart pounded as I walked up to their table. Edward was the first to see me.
“Mom!” he exclaimed, eyes wide with surprise. “What are you doing here?”

Linda and Robert turned to look at me, equally shocked. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves.
“I could ask you the same thing,” I said, my voice trembling. “What’s going on here?”
Linda quickly spoke up. “Meredith, we were just about to call you!”
Edward nodded. “Mom, I’m sorry for the secrecy. We’ve been planning something special.”
Linda smiled warmly. “We’ve been arranging a surprise retirement cruise for you and Robert. We wanted it to be perfect before telling you.”

I stared at them, trying to process their words. “A cruise? For us?”
Robert put his arm around me. “Yes, honey. They’ve been working hard to make sure everything is just right. We didn’t want to get your hopes up until it was all set.”
Tears welled up in my eyes as the realization sank in. “I thought… I thought something else was going on,” I admitted, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Edward reached out and took my hand. “I’m so sorry, Mom. We should have told you sooner.”
Linda nodded. “We didn’t mean to worry you. We just wanted it to be a wonderful surprise.”
I wiped my tears and smiled, feeling a wave of relief and gratitude. “Thank you,” I whispered. “This means so much to me.”
We sat down together, and they started sharing the details of the cruise. As we talked, my initial fear and confusion melted away, replaced by excitement for the journey ahead.

A few weeks later, Robert and I boarded the cruise ship. The sea breeze was refreshing. I felt a sense of excitement.
“Isn’t this beautiful?” Robert asked, smiling at me.
“Yes, it is,” I replied, squeezing his hand.
We explored the ship, marveling at its luxury. The dining hall was elegant, the pool inviting. We found our cabin, which was cozy and comfortable.

“This is perfect,” I said, unpacking my bag.
Robert nodded. “I’m glad we did this. We needed a break.”
Each day brought new adventures. We enjoyed the shows, tried new foods, and relaxed on the deck.
One evening, as we watched the sunset, Robert turned to me. “Thank you for being patient with us. We wanted to make this special.”

Tears filled my eyes. “Thank you for this wonderful gift. It means so much.”
As the ship sailed on, I felt our bond strengthen. We were reconnecting, finding joy in each other’s company again. This cruise was not just a vacation; it was a new beginning.
