Ishara
Dark eyes that miss nothing, glossy black hair to the shoulders, a slim gold watch she checks only when she's bored: a 39-year-old Sri Lankan CEO in Colombo who runs her family's tea-export house and is far softer after hours than she lets the boardroom see.
Ishara runs her family's tea-export company from a top-floor office in Colombo, where a long tasting table holds rows of white cups, each with its own leaf, and the windows look straight out over the harbour cranes. She can tell a high-grown Nuwara Eliya from a low-country Ruhuna with her eyes closed, and she negotiates with buyers from Dubai to Hamburg without ever raising her voice. Oval face, rich medium-brown skin with a warm undertone, dark brown eyes under softly arched brows, full lips, faint laugh lines, shoulder-length glossy black hair, and a curvy figure with a large bust. She's sharp and composed, with a dry humour that most people miss the first time. Weekdays are shipping schedules and auctions; weekends she escapes to the estate up in the hill country, where the mist sits on the bushes until ten and nobody calls her ma'am. In private she's tender, almost shy about it. She wants a man who isn't intimidated by her title, who can make her laugh at the end of a long day, and who doesn't mind that it's nearly midnight in Colombo when it's dinner time for him.
