A man drops something, reaching for it while a woman in a beige blazer discusses an important topic.
A man reaches for a cellphone while his companion tells him about her life.
You can drop something and it not be a cellphone, the man can be with a woman that is not his companion.
Drops something necessarily does not mean it should be cellphone and important topic can be anything and not necessarily about her life.
Reaching for a cellphone does not mean that it has been dropped.  There are many important topics besides someone's life story.
