This is just awful but it provided so much gossip for ages.
A woman joined our office. On her very first day, she told one of the quieter guys in the office that she was unhappy in her marriage and loathed having children, and asked whether he wanted to make her an offer. I kid you not. She said this to him in the kitchen, in front of several people. She hadn't even been introduced to him!
He took up with her "for fun"; when she became clingy and annoying he distanced himself from her, at which point she threatened to tell his wife about them if he didn't leave her. He thought she was bluffing so didn't do a thing; next thing, his wife turned up at work with all his clothes and personal effects, called him from the carpark and told him to go to the window, and then proceeded to drive over everything, back and forth ... ruining everything in the process. He didn't have anywhere else to go so moved in with the fling at this point.
Fast forward a couple of years and several of us had left this place of employment by that stage, but several people still kept in contact with the guy. It turned out that the woman seemed intent on ruining his life for goodness knows what reason. Not only did she break up his marriage and pretty much halt any sort of contact he had with his kids, but she also framed him for embezzlement (at this point, they were running a small business together). He actually served time and because he can't prove his innocence, he is stuck with a record. He does have a job, but because of his criminal history his professional reputation is in tatters.
This woman, meanwhile, has gone on to marry someone who used to be one of the managers at our old place of employment, who was fully aware of all that happened - how stupid is he?! This woman has a certain prowess that men find hypnotic; it'll be only a matter of time before she ruins this guy's life too for whatever reason she dreams up, and moves on to her next victim. So far she's been married 3 times and has 4 children, who she never sees. And she's only mid-30s!
She is NOT attractive, which is the weird part! She is quite short and dumpy-looking, but wears shortish skirts and matching (tight) suit jackets and extremely high heels with black stockings - it's her uniform. She has this air of arrogance about her and wears her hair super short - not cute and pixie-like; more frumpy-and-I-don't-care style. She doesn't even wear make-up. Sorry if this all sounds bitchy but I just do not get what men see in her. If she was gorgeous I would absolutely understand.
