The sad thing is that often we don't know who we can trust until trust has been broken. Sometimes we judge someone as being able to give help without causing trouble, and then we learn the hard way that is not the case after the damage has been done. Sometimes the person is reacting a certain way, and we have no idea why they act the way they do, and then we learn later that they were causing troubles behind our backs, planting seeds of doubt and mistrust that we have to overcome. Red has a good point, that Emie is trying to get the guy away from Paula, while keeping Paula in the dark. If Emie had her way, the guy would have said nothing, because she told him to keep it a secret, but he didn't, so Paula then knows that Emie is doing her damage. Paula would have always wondered why the guy quit, her, and based on what Emie said to the guy, he would have felt justified, only if Emie had her way, he would have said nothing about the problem to Paula, thus hindering her from repairing the damage.
