working late 

Basically this is a lie/excuse, it means that a married man or woman will be back late at night doing whatever he/she is doing, such as partying, having sex with another woman/man, doing drugs or just generally having fun with friends after work.

It is a classic example to go out without your wife/husband and have fun

Do not get confused with "its just code for sex", that is bullshit, if a person says that, make him/her look like an idiot.

It was made famous in the film 40 days and 40 nights

Working, be back later is commonly found in away messages as a literal term. However, in recent history it has taken on a more generalized meaning along the lines of "I'm way too lazy to change my away message" It's use is usually associated with the very antithesis of work and should not be taken as it's literal meaning. It goes without saying that their exist a myriad of translations for the phrase, some are as follows:

"I don't know how Aim works and cannot turn off my default away message"

"I don't understand why nobody ever talks to me online"

"I don't even have a job!"

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
