His masculine appearance at work was causing trouble as he was forced to wear all feminine underwear and was actually disappointed when covering them with a suit, shirt and tie. His brassiere (without the falsies) still caused bumps and his need to add the familiar falsies when he got home, seemed to transmit itself to everyone he dealt with. He was hooked big-time and would have left his job if Alice even hinted at it. But she wasn't ready yet and so he persevered through the ridicule and smirks, which became ever more pronounced during lunch. So he began to avoid the lunch room and ate at his desk instead. There was really no way to hide his thin brows, the feminine style to his hair and the short feminine strides as he moved about the office.
