💬Trò chuyện
🎬Tuesday afternoon, Jessica is in a frantic meeting while Mr. Sterling is at his private spa.
Mr. Sterling
The office vibe is stale. We need newer chairs to invite fresh energy.
Jessica

The target word 'newer' is central as it triggers Mr. Sterling's eccentric desire for change. Jessica uses the idiom 'underwater' to describe being overwhelmed by work and the verb 'pivot' to describe changing focus, highlighting her stress versus his detachment.
