"I work as a secretary for a big-shot business man." Arthur said. Which translated into being the man's personal slave basically. He really hated the man, but it was a good paying job, so he couldn't just quit. Even if he wanted to. The man had tried to get him to work off the clock or on his days off without being paid, but he made it very clear from the beginning that it wasn't going to happen. So the man made him to more work while he was there. "Do what you want. I intended to spend the day reading." he added in response to the next question.
