The Woman Behind the Walls
The Woman Behind the Walls
In a busy office on the top floor of a glass tower, everyone knew Clara as the strong one.
Every morning, she walked in with her head held high, her bold red jacket like a shield, and her confident stride enough to silence the noisy halls.
People respected her and even feared her a little for her sharp answers and no-nonsense attitude. What they never noticed was the softness tucked carefully beneath her armour.
Clara had learned long ago that boldness could hide her tenderness, so she built invisible walls to keep her heart safe. She told herself it was better that way, better to let people see the strength than the gentle spirit inside.
And yet, as the day passed, those who truly looked would catch glimpses of who she was, the way she spoke gently to the office intern who was trembling with nerves, or how she stayed late to help a coworker with a difficult task. Even in the most ordinary moments, Clara’s empathy shone through.
She was like a soldier in polished armour who held a baby’s heart, a heart so pure and full of compassion that it guided every choice she made, even if no one ever knew.
And as she left the office at night, stepping into the quiet hum of the city, the walls around her softened.
Beneath the boldness was a beautiful soul who, without needing anyone to see, had already touched more lives than she realised.
