How do people work with people they don't trust?

Spies do it all the time so I know it’s possible.
How does a generally trusting person handle working with people whose motives are suspect? Especially if your job requires you to rely on them?
I tend to either trust someone completely or not at all. What is the process of walking in the middle? I hate that I’m so absolutist about this but my mind can’t figure out how to believe anything someone says once they prove themselves to be untrustworthy, yet logically I know they are not an entirely evil person.
I hope this isn’t too cryptic but I’m just in a situation where I have to rely on someone who sort of stabbed me in the back, the story is too long to go into but just firing her is not really an option right now.
