 If people at work ask you you don't really OWE them an answer, just tell them you don't know.
However I do think you needs to talk to your GF and she NEEDS to figure out what she wants to do and stick to that, not dangle a carrot in front of you. This should NOT be taboo subject. I think there is noting bad in admitting that you feel a little insecure over him popping up like this.
Though it seems to me she already gave you her answer, a big resounding NO to getting back with the ex.

He might have realized exactly WHAT he lost when their relationship ended, specially if he's tried to be in a few relationships over the past 4 years.
The thing is, he doesn't seem to realize that they BOTH (hopefully) have grown since they dated and that SHE found happiness again with someone else (you).
Maybe he knows she is happy and he isn't liking it.
Hard to say.
I wouldn't worry about his motivations, just focus on you and your GF.

 He might be sorry, or he might be lonely and just wants some company, he might just want sex.....there could be loads of reasons why he has called her.
But you shouldnt be worrying about that - it shouldnt matter why he called. What matters is what your girlfriend wants to do now - does she want to see him again? Or is she happy with you and doesnt care about him?
If she thinks he is sorry and she wants to meet him, well she clearly never moved on from her ex and unfortuately was probably using you to help her move on, but it didnt work. If she was 100% in love with you and happy with you she wouldnt care if her ex contacted her, she would ignore it and not think twice about him.
But if she wants to see him again or talk to him because of his call, well she is not comitted to you I'm afraid.
Talk to her and find out what she wants to do - why he called is irrelevant, the issue is what she wants to do next. If she wants to see him well its game over for you I'm afraid, probably best to let her go at that point and move on.
Good luck!
