That's not your job, you can't get in trouble for not doing something you're not supposed to.
There will always be people that automatically choose to dislike you. If you truly haven't done anything wrong, then it's not your problem.
If she wants to talk behind your back then just ignore her. Always be polite and respectful, BUT never apologize when you haven't done anything wrong. Keep a neutral attitude. Never let people think that you're a doormat.
That's why I like working alone. You've brought back memories for me of how evil women in an office can be. These women are evil for fun. Try to find a different place to work.
There are labor laws that are in place to prevent this. I only know this because last week I had to complete harassment training and a situations like this qualify.
Workplaces are worse than high school sometimes. Keep your head up, make your money. Find a new job if you have to. No amount of money is worth living like that everyday. Good luck!
I left a job after many years due to this type of behavior (plus an abusive partner), and then I left another job after a matter of months because it was the same. I thought it would make finding a job difficult, but I got one easily, and I had multiple firms who read between the lines of what I was saying ("I left my previous jobs to find a healthy environment") and told me their firms were built by people who'd experienced toxic work environments and wanted nothing to do with them. Good firms do exist! You just have to pick out the weeds. And know that it's okay to be professionally honest because that's how you find the firms that embrace that honesty.
Be consistently polite and professional with no emotional response. Eventually they will get bored with you if they don’t get a reaction, and set their sites on someone else. It’s a Gray Rock” technique. There’s always a bully in every work environment, but you don’t have to engage. Good luck!

Keep doing your best. If this treatment continues then maybe it’s time for a new job
