Photographic postcard of a man and two women seated at partners desk

They are, of course, sitting at a partners desk. The lady at left appears to be taking dictation, possibly in shorthand. The size of the notepad she is using is consistent with a stenographer's notepad or shorthand notepad.

Wow.......

There is a Spanish surname "Reales" - could it maybe be that?

Paul Messerschmidt Thanks Paul! She does look like she could be Spanish...

She reminds me of my old grannie, who was a young woman in the 1930s, very beautiful

Could the writing at the top of the photo just be the photographer's data - his reference number for the photo, his (male) client's name, and then is the last word just "small" - the size of the print ordered?
(All pure speculation, of course.)
