Instead of working where the other scriveners do he works on the same side as the narrator. There is reasoning behind his placement but this to the narrator is unknowingly the cause to the disruption that is about to begin.

Bartleby rapidly earns a top spot in the narrator’s eye as he does an immense amount of work.
