Crossfire

I was in a meeting this morning. 15 or 16 of us were in there.
And for close to 15 mins, there was a verbal crossfire between 2 people. Between a lady & a gent.
With 13 or 14 others as spectators.

Sigh. Both are my teammates.

Bad blood spilleth over.

It was a tense and awkward situation. The boss had to step in.
The rest were stealing glances at each other. Wondering what happened.

I was sitting next to the guy.
I didn't know what else to do but to keep my head low and stare at my laptop in front of me.

If this persists between the two of them, it will be detrimental in the long run.
Gosh.

The lady SMS-ed me just now when I was on my way home.
Asked me if the guy didn't like her. Asked me if she had stepped on his toes unknowingly.
Asked me why he was so hostile towards her.
Told me that the way he treats me is so different from the way he treats her.

I don't want to be caught in between these two.
Not healthy at all for the team. Both me & some others are caught in the middle.

Come to think of it. Both are older than me. Piangzz.
Both have worked a combined total of 30 years.

And now this kind of situation.

I don't quite know how to handle it. Letting things remain the way it is no go.
Getting them to talk things out is not for me to suggest.
So?? No conclusion. Sigh.

Oh yes, the guy is a Dragon. The lady's a Dog.
Dogs & Dragons don't mix I suppose...hmm mm.
