I thought the calendar scene is about the secretary figuring how fucked up Bateman is. It's not a way of showing that someone didn't kill anybody.

In that case, what is the significance of showing the audience that scene? The immediate previous scene just established that Bateman can't be brought accountable for his feelings/actions even when he tries.

Her face is even ambiguous as we glimpse it before the camera changes to focus the drawings, it kinda looks like she's smiling even, as though to think "wow Bateman, you dork."

To show that scene in the final three minutes of the film as Bateman's place in the world is wrapped up and he gives his monologue-- what is the utility of that scene if it's to show that somebody is aware of Bateman's murders? To say that actually, the mask can be pulled off? That doesn't seem to agree with everything else presented in the ending.
