The following passage is not fiction, but more like a true story. The boss arranged an appointment for the saleswoman to talk with a customer. He did this in order to test out her integrity. He promised to raise her salary and even give her a bonus if she succeeded. She knew that to climb the ladder of success she couldn't miss the opportunity. But it seemed to her that the boss was doing something absurd. Maybe there was something wrong with her makeup, like her red nails. The boss claimed that the saleswoman was guilty and suspended her from her post. Then he declared she would be dismissed, whereas she tried to justify her dignity. She thought it was ridiculous of the boss to do so.
