Two people, a woman and a man, sit on a dark-colored sofa having a conversation in a modern office or workspace setting. The woman is taking notes in a notebook, and the man appears to be speaking and gesturing with his hand. There is a laptop, a smartphone, and a stack of books on a white table in front of them, with large windows and industrial-style decor in the background.
