himself, wondering what to do during this rare moment of spare time. Slightly bored,
he reached for the local newspaper. Are there any events in town this week? “Hey,
that's interesting,” he thought when he stumbled upon an article about the furniture
store downtown. Their senior partner is retiring and they celebrate this with an Open
Day. Might be interesting to visit their store and check for some bargains. He kept
reading…
“Ohmy god!” Steven almost jumped to his feet. Retirement? He completely forgot
about his boss' retirement party which was supposed to be at the end of this week!
Being his successor, Steven was supposed to give a short laudatio at the event. He

“accident” last year, even so she definitely had an unarguably good sense of style.
Almost automatically, he opened up his laptop and started his web browser. “Let's
hope the Internet can help me,” he thought. After a bit of searching, he found the
website of an online fashion store that also specialized on online style consulting.
“Ah, brilliant, exactly what I need now.” Steven started playing the video on their
website where they explained their service. It seemed quite straight forward. He
first had to fill in a questionnaire about his personal lifestyle, what kind of goods he
usually buys, and so on. Then, one of their fashion advisors would call him to inquire
