Meanwhile, a close confidant of Ouzounian tells a different story. The friend tells E! News that according to Ouzounian, their great employment arrangement—she had previous experience with high-profile families—ultimately transitioned into something inappropriate.

"What started out as a flirtation quickly turned into more," the pal says.

But Garner didn't let her go for a while because she was a "sweet girl" and her children "adored" her.

When Affleck and Ouzounian began to hang out more, she told her friend that he would set "covert meet-ups" and their professional relationship turned romantic.

"...Eventually she couldn't contain her excitement and spilled the beans that she was dating Ben Affleck...she told her friends she was completely in love with him," Ouzounian's friend explains. "Ben told Christine things that led her to believe they were going to be fully together. Over the course of the last few months, their relationship became very real and serious to Christine."
