Long story short, Su emailed me this morning. She was piqued because I rebutted that she also made personal phone calls at work when she reminded me to keep it outside work (she said because she was trying to protect me in case Second Boss gossip to Big Boss about me). She felt that I do not show her the respect as a senior and she's feeling the conflict in being a good friend and being a senior.

I replied her email saying that I thought she was talking to me as a friend and I replied as such. If she had any problems with what I said, she should have said so right then instead of letting it simmer and behaving in such a manner afterwards. Also, she's putting me in a position where I don't know whether I can say what I feel or think to her, or I should just shut my mouth up. Plus, this has nothing to do with respect as a senior. I ended saying that I feel extremely offended by her behaviour.

We didn't talk much, kinda awkward. She's on half day leave so that's a bit of a relief. Well, a outward show of respect would mean me being fake. Besides, is there really a need to pull ranks, especially when it's such a small department?
