Two people stand facing each other in a bright modern office space, engaged in conversation. The person on the left holds an open laptop in one arm while gesturing with the other hand, wearing a light-colored casual button-down shirt and smiling attentively. The person on the right stands with arms relaxed, dressed in dark business-casual clothing, listening with a slight smile. Behind them, out-of-focus glass partitions, desks, and warm overhead lighting fill the background.
