Dealing with colleagues who hate me after mistake

Im in the process of trying to 'wake up' I made a grievous error with a colleague recently. I sent a nasty email about something she was involved in. I was trying to manipulate her-even perhaps bully her with my views I was drinking a lot at the time. I have since realized the error of trying to control anybody or not to take the views of others to heart. I have realized my error after reading various guides to Buddhism. I have offered an apology but now a considerable amount of my colleagues hate me.I see it in their eyes and way they communicate with me. How does a novice Buddhist deal with this?
