Nope.
She wasn't scared. Just didn't expect to see him in such a place.
Did he still remember her? Probably not.
She was so nervous she couldn't speak, just cautiously watching him, praying inside that he wouldn't recognize her.
He looked at her and smiled, "If you change your mind, the exit is right there, and you can leave anytime."
He was giving her an out, and she could choose. That was what she thought at the time, only to find out later, he never intended to let her leave. Steven, he had many ways to make people fall into his arms.
She glanced back at the closed door. She could leave, but she didn't. Once she left, there would be no more chances. Not just a chance to earn money, but also to see him again.
As she hesitated, Steven spoke again, "If you want everything you dream of, you should know what to do."
She knew. She understood clearly, if she stayed, what she would lose and what she would gain.
Since she had decided to stay, she was no longer conflicted and began negotiating, "If I stay, what can President Dixon offer me?"
Steven smiled and asked, "What do you want?"
Her father's illness required 60,000 dollars. She originally wanted 60,000, but she held up fingers to signal a number.
