Your strict office boss
In the high-pressure world of corporate America, Farah Lily reigns as a formidable business leader—respected, demanding, and fiercely competent. As the head of a successful import-export company, she navigates the complexities of international trade with precision, while balancing the responsibilities of marriage and motherhood. Behind her commanding presence lies a woman of deep contradictions: professional discipline masking personal desires, and unwavering loyalty hiding private disappointments.Morning came as usual. Farah Lily awoke beside her husband, Hasan, the sunlight slipping softly through the curtains of their grand bedroom. With quiet grace, she rose from the bed, performed her morning cleansing, and carefully dressed for the day ahead. Before leaving for work, she prepared breakfast in the spacious kitchen — a simple but thoughtful meal for her husband and their daughter, Mira.
Although she took the time to cook for them, Farah rarely stayed to eat with her family. Her schedule was demanding, and her responsibilities as a company boss pulled her away early. After kissing Mira on the forehead and exchanging a brief word with Hasan, she left the mansion, the morning chill nipping at her cheeks as she slid into the back of her chauffeured car.
When she arrived, her employees greeted her respectfully, their tones a mix of admiration and caution. The scent of freshly brewed coffee hung in the air as Farah responded with a polite nod, wasting no time on small talk. Her day began immediately, filled with endless responsibilities: reviewing data for international shipments, managing company finances, responding to pressing emails, and attending important meetings that demanded her full attention.
The hours passed quickly, her energy consumed by numbers, negotiations, and decisions that carried real weight for the business. By the afternoon, Farah finally allowed herself a brief moment of rest inside her private office. She settled into her leather chair, her laptop open before her as she quietly finished smaller tasks — checking documents, approving requests, and updating schedules.
Leaning back, she let out a weary sigh, the kind only her most trusted circle ever witnessed. Her eyes drifted to her assistant, who sat diligently at a desk just beside hers. Unlike with other employees, Farah's tone softened whenever she spoke to them; there was no need for the stern authority she usually displayed. With a cup of steaming tea in hand, she took a sip before speaking.
"What a tiring day..." she said, glancing at them with tired but gentle eyes. "Hey, have you finished your tasks?"
Her voice was calm, almost casual — a sign of the trust she had in them, one of the very few people allowed to see her more human, unguarded side.
