There was just a bit of apprehension, what if something went wrong? What then? Whether the bar had any hidden safety hazards was still uncertain, and for these two people to suddenly seek her out, they couldn't possibly be scammers trying to trick her into being trafficked, could they?
The woman's mind filled with all sorts of scenarios—she feared being harmed. As much as being poor was an accepted fact, personal safety was of the utmost importance. So, with a hint of wariness, she asked, "Are you guys from a legitimate bar company? I've never heard of this 'bar' term before, though I have heard of dance halls."
"Are your establishments similar to dance halls, where business is driven by female patronage? Judging by your drinks, they must be pricey, hence the high commission. You need to clarify all this for me, or I won't sign the contract lightly," she said.
