Question: What's with the gloves?

So I know butlers wear gloves some times, but they're usually like thin silk gloves, and white. And this isn't 1820's Britain.

Theory: Merryweather burned his hands with acid to punish him for something he didn't do. And Claudia felt sorry for him and nursed him. That's when their affair started. She bought him the gloves to hide his disfigured hands. They are a metaphor for her love being protection from the abuse he has to suffer from her husband.
