She's always messing around with lots of documents that have to be controlled by me and the other day we had a quarrel. I told her to tell me exactly what she's taking out of the files and what not and please to take only one file at a time and do not let everything in a mess--as I have told her before, there is one boss who is particularly picky about it and wants it tidy and was noticing it. She got at me and he was around. I apologized for getting so serious but reminded her of the situation and that I had explained it before to her.I think maybe she wants to make me see something as me not having the right to tell her off, I do not want to be harsh as I'm supposed to be the personal assistant of the highest responsible there but I always have the responsibility to help other bosses and people in the office when he's not in... I do not want to abuse or to be beastly and I know she's nice but doesn't realise (maybe) what I am supposed to be there for... loveany ideas will be welcomed

 I think you had every right to have a word with her about messing files up or taking more than she is supposed to. In a work place there ahs to be respect between people who work together and people who take the mickey out of that do need it being told to them they aren't doing something right etc. And the fact you apologised for getting so serious over it shows you are justified.
If she continues to do what she is doing I would suggest having a quiet word with a boss. I know its dobbing someone in but it isn't very fair on you to get so worked up over somebody messing the day up for you!

 I think that you're justified in this situation.
