I notice that both of them aren't wearing casual clothes so I think it's an uniform composed a green skirt, and a blue trousers. One has red hair and the  second has the second to baldness. They are probably co-workers because they are wearing the same clothes. The one in front of the computer is happy and the other is perplexed. b.
