How should I word an email to my supervisor who is insinuating that I have more than a work relationship with a male coworker. She asked me twice about this specific coworker and stated she handpicked me to be here and I’m a reflection of her and perception is everything and he has no business being in my office more than she is because we don’t have any work together. But in my job description it clearly states we have work together
