Just going by my own experience and what I see everyday these kind problems come from a lack of communication. If it was me I would sit down and talk to the lady, be real cool, and try find to way to make things a little easier. Basically talk to her first before going to anybody else. All too aften these conflicts at work result from misunderstandings and people jumping to conclusions about what everyone else is up to and nobody bothers to talk directly with one another.

That's what I do.
