Girl's job requires her to spend most of her working hours in a bank. Girl is very attractive, with her silky brown hair, doe eyes, milky white skin and long lean body. Her parents are jobless, and at the young age of 23, she is already the family breadwinner. Girl's paycheck alone can barely sustain her whole family's needs.
Client has been with the bank for years. He is a very valued depositor of the bank. Client is married with children. Client is twice Girl's age.
Client sees Girl and is instantly mesmerized. He asks her out on a date, and Girl goes with him. He gives her the moves, and she welcomes his advances. Client offers Girl a job at his company, with a fat paycheck and "special privileges". Girl accepts and leaves her job.
Three months later Client applies for an extension of his credit card in Girl's name. One month after that, Girl moves into a new fully furnished condominium owned by Client. Girl visits the bank once in a while to update her new bank account. Client is always by her side. His wife and children do not know a thing.
There has been a lot of talk at work about this situation. Many many raised eyebrows, and many many opinions have surfaced. Was it proper? Was it decent? Heated debates during lunch hour have become a staple, and arguments over whether she was immoral, cheap, or even scheming and brilliant about the whole thing were expressed.
"Would you have done the same thing?" A co-worker asked me this yesterday, after another visit from Girl and Client to the bank. The question did not surprise me. After all, the reason I was hired was to replace the position the girl left, so the comparison was forthcoming. I just laughed at the thought. For the life of me, I cannot imagine myself being attracted to an old balding married guy for his money. But then, I have never been in that situation. I am fortunate to have a comfortable life, which does not put me in a position of extreme need. Would it be right to cast stones? Personally, I do not think was they did was proper, and if she really had to do it, it would have been a bit better if she had been discreet about it.
Morality versus need. For some, there would be no contest either way. Faced with the same situation though, what would you really do?
Tricky.
