For 10 years Marie had been working as a sales clerk at an expensive women's fashion boutique. She offered beautiful and perfect dresses for the women clients. But Marie's body changed a lot in recent months.

She was a sweet slim girl and looked so beautiful. But recently she gained weight, sweated profusely and got tired easily. She could work for a long time continuously. But recently she felt dizzy for simple and easy works. Then she had to take a break.

The clients refused to take her as sales clerk. They whispered how could someone like her recommend anything. Moreover according to them she looked gross. The clients whispered and discussed them too.

One day the manager of the boutique was hear two of the clients discussing so. He got tensed and thought if that continues, they were going to lose all of their clients. He thought it deeply and was finding a way to talk with Marie about this.

Even her co workers were whispering behind her back. They talked about her and laughed. One day, while working two of them were gossiping about this. One said that she really let herself go and she could not even look at her. The other one laughed and said that rumor had it that her husband left her.

The first one said that it was not surprising and it was more obvious with her new hair style. She also added that she should rather lose some weight instead of her hair style. They laughed so hard and got fun discussing about her.

One day Marie was working and one of her co workers came. She was also working and that time she said to Marie that it was time for her to retire. She asked her about what she was thinking and left with loud laughter. Marie was hurt by the gossip, but she tried not to show it.

One day Marie came to her boss. She had a request hoping he would understand her. She asked him if she could go in. He welcomed her in and said that he had been meaning to talk to her. She told him that she need a vacation for just a couple of weeks. She added that she had been working there for 10 years and never used her time off.

But the boss was going to say another thing. He said that the thing was their customers had been complaining about her and he wanted to inform her that that week was her last week working there. Marie's eyes were filled wit water. She said that she had been there since the boutique opened.

The manager still didn't listen to her. He said to her that everyone needs rest and it looked like she really needed some rest after her husband had walked out on her. He added that he was sure she would land on her feet. Marie that time stood for herself and said, "Mr. Simmons, with all due respect, I wasn't going to rest."

And that time she did something the boss was not ready for. She suddenly took of her wig and showed her bald head. She said that she had cancer and needed time off to have some tests done. The boss became astonished and asked her to wait because he had no idea and needed time to absorb. Marie said that it didn't matter then and said good bye.

Everyone around her judged her for her appearance having no idea what side effects she had to suffer. She thought about the time when she went to the doctor and he said that they didn't know if she would get back in shape.

After this everyone was talking about her husband leaving her, but no one knew why he did that. When her husband could knew about her cancer, he said that he didn't want to have to go through that. Instead of supporting her he left in the same day.

Everyone was laughing at her ridiculous wig without knowing how hard she cried as she shaved off her hair. But Marie was not the kind of person who would wallow in self-pity.

After the meeting with boss, she left the boutique with no wig. Her all the co workers looked at her surprisingly. That's when they learnt something was wrong with Marie and they had no right to talk with her in that way.

Six months later, Marie pulled off the impossible. She went through lots of tests and treatments. And then on day the doctor happily said to her that her test results were good and that was amazing. She was also getting her hair and shape back.

Another year passed and she opened her own boutique right across the one she had worked at. She stood there to welcome the clients and yes she looked pretty. All the clients were going to her and her ex boss exclaimed to himself that he could not believe that as people were lining up to get in.

Marie was not selling clothes not for wealthy slender women, but for ordinary women with real bodies. And soon the whole town learned the story of the invincible Marie.

Never judge people if you don't know their true story.
