Pleasure Interrupted

The sun glimmered outside the window of Alexander's office, as he was currently at his desk with paperwork all over the place. He looked at his wristwatch to check the time. It was five minutes before three p.m. He has an occasion to attend at seven so he's basically wrapping up work for now. 

It is something he did once he started working, to wear a watch at all times and then look at the many clocks in the building. It allows him to keep track of time personally rather than rely on the city clock towers. He gets odd looks when people think he is not looking, as wristwatches are marketed toward women as jewelry bracelets with timepieces. The men all use pocket watches, so Alexander once again becomes a trendsetter of sorts by wearing a wristwatch.

'Note to self, create electric quartz watches.',

Thomas inside him thought.
