Teen Janitor Returns Lost Wallet to Rich Lady, Years Later Inherits Her Company – Story of the Day

Martin, 19, supported himself by working as a janitor at a supermarket. While mopping the floors one day, he came across a rich woman’s wallet and decided to return it. Little did the boy realize that his good karma would return to him in the most unexpected way.

Martin was mopping the floors at the supermarket on a regular afternoon when a woman walked in, having parked her SUV right outside the door. Their eyes met for a while, and the woman stopped.

“Have we met before, young man?” she asked, and Martin shook his head.

“I’m sorry, I was just confused. I don’t believe I’ve ever met you. Sorry.”

“Oh, that’s quite alright. Have a nice day then,” she said with a smile before disappearing down one of the aisles.

Martin got back to his work and noticed the woman again as she made the payment. As she walked out of the store, he gave her a gentle smile, and she smiled back.

After cleaning the floors, Martin was about to head home when he noticed a wallet on the ground, right outside the store. He remembered the wallet belonged to the woman who had previously shopped at the store, and he opened it to see if it contained any ID with her address.

Fortunately, it did, so he decided to return it to her. There were several dollar bills in there as well, but Martin didn’t touch a single one. He hopped on his bike and pedaled all the way to her house. When he arrived, he knocked on the door, and she was surprised to see him.

Sometimes, honesty and kindness come back to you in surprising ways.

“Oh, it’s you! The boy from the mart!”

“Hey,” Martin said as he extended his wallet. “You dropped it outside the store. Just double-check that everything is there. If you misplaced any cards or IDs, you should notify the cops.”

“Oh dear!” she exclaimed. “Thank you very much! I had no idea I had dropped it. By the way, my name is Suzane. And, oh my God, everything seems fine…” she added, checking the wallet. “It had $2500, and there’s not one bill less.”

“Cool then; I’ll leave. Have a good day.”

“Well,” she said. “Since you’re here, why don’t you join me for dinner? The mart is a bit out of the way, and you came all the way for this. It wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t return the favor.”

Martin wanted to turn down the offer, but he couldn’t because he hadn’t eaten well in days. He was just 19, living an orphaned life. Ramen was the only thing he knew how to cook, and he hadn’t had a homemade meal in months!

“Thank you,” he said shyly as he followed her inside.

Suzane was a fantastic cook, and she had made delicious spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, which Martin couldn’t...
