Let's recap this "affair":

  • Her husband cheats on her with her best friend.
  • The rep hardcore sexually harasses her, did not stop after she complained and eventually gets her to shack up for an afternoon
  • Her husband finds out so he takes her phone, impersonates her to start a group text chat including the rep and all his wife's coworkers, and confronts the rep about fucking his wife
  • In response she is ostracized and bullied by her coworkers
  • She kills herself by setting herself on fire.
