That's a really sweet story - sometimes you don't need a tremendous event to shake the whole plot and blow you out of your mind in order to enjoy a good story.
I would say this story is fit for casual reading in order to uplift the mood - it makes the reader believe in the kindness of people, in looking at the filled part of an half empty glass, and to accept that there are values more important than social status in regard to employment - every job honor the worker as long as it's an honest and legal one - a person that works in order to support his family should be admired, not mocked upon.
We should ask ourselves why is it so - that the place a person works at is so important, and why, even if the person has a great personality, wisdom etc. - people still tend to give such an heavy weight to the occupation of a person when they shape their opinion about him - this is wrong and we should try to regard the person, not his job.

All the same - we do get a twist in the plot in the surprising reaction of Juliet - and it adds some surprising effect to the story, which is enjoyable without regard to this point - but becomes even better with this addition.

Thanks for this lovely story!
