If I understand your topology, you can change the L3 between Office1 and Office3 to be layer L2, then keep the L3 connection by using an SVI on a VLAN to also route over it. You could also use QinQ or if you have the equipment you could OTV the traffic.

Actually in my organization we done this before.  We used pesudo wire/x connect with L2TP to tunnel vlan data across a WAN link to our core 6509.
