What did the woman do at first?

M: I’m looking for an apartment.
W: Sure. We have a two-room apartment for $ 300 a month.
M: I’m afraid that’s much too expensive for me.
W: Well, there’s another furnished apartment on the fifth floor for only $ 200, but there’s a really long list of people waiting for it.
M: Oh, well, thank you anyway.
W: Wait a minute. I could let you have a look at it. I know you are pretty clean and quiet and you pay your rent regularly, so I could put you up high on the list.
M: How much do you want?
W: A guy offered me $100 yesterday.
M: I just couldn’t afford $100.
W: Well, let’s have a look at the apartment, If you like it, I’ll let you have it for $ 50, OK?
M: OK.
