There is an annoying guy who is resigning from my department and a new girl who recently just joined our workforce.

During the first few days when the girl joined, I was sitting on the cubicle next to her's. So obviously, being the senior, I have be friendly, talk to her. If she got question, she also ask me first. Natural cause we sit close by and this is strictly professional.

Until this a$$h0l3 colleague of mine came up and say loudly "WOW! Kao lui ah?! People first week la... Let go of her la." I was very irritated with this sentence, so was she. By accident, I made a mistake. I said to this a$$h0l3 colleague of mine that she is a relative but actually she is not.

She heard bout it too. At first, she was ok. She probably didnt understand that I was just trying to shut that a$$h0l3 up and make him go away instead of annoying me the entire day. The new girl on the other hand probably thinks that two of her senior is making fun of her.

<editted> She started to feel awkward because the a$$h0l3 confronted her about being my relative today and also probably backstabbed me, he's a good-for-nothing-backstabber whom everyone hates thats why he is quitting. Always saying we all dont treat him like family and crap. <editted>

So, I apologised to the girl and she kept avoiding me, saying she is busy - cannot talk cause her sort of senior (another girl) is helping her now instead of me. I told her the reason why I simply claimed her to be my relative is an excuse to make that a$$h0l3 buzz off but she dont seem to get it.

Now, I feel horrible. I have been here for so long and this a$$h0l3 is quitting. We dont like each other very much and he is trying to make my future days difficult. What can I do to rectify this problem?

When I type on the MSN, telling the girl I got explaination to make to her, she just avoid it saying I am sorry I cannot talk now. I am very busy today. Sorry. She is so nice and apologetic but yet she is not getting the whole picture. Now I'm misunderstood as a bad guy and in reality, I dont like that. I prefer to maintain my perfect working environment instead of having it screwed up by that a$$h0l3.

What can I do? Please help.
