It's certainly possible that this scenario played out as you described but I think it might be mostly in your head. LE would not allow someone to walk in and just leave... once you're there, you are on the radar and the likelihood of them letting you just walk away is slim to none! You may not be placed under arrest but LE generally tend to make their presence known to anyone who they find in such a position.
Perhaps it was an off day for the lady in question... but if you did in-fact offer to pay that is reason enough for LE to move in and make an arrest. Even if they don't make the arrest my experience has shown that they ALWAYS make it known that they know who you are, what you're doing and will at a minimum detain you in order to try and scare you into admitting something. Rest assured, if LE were there you would likely have gotten a stern warning along with a warning about getting caught and the affects it has on the community, the potential for job loss... etc. Its like they have a text book to follow.So I recently tried setting up an appointment with a booker I've worked with in the past. There was a new number and a new voice and i got a bit of a bad feeling but set the appointment.
Once there things got worse. Not the usual greeting at the door and very distanced, something of a forced smile and too much giggling that was too loud -- as well as the level of the conversion voice. After a bit I was asked if I liked her -- I said yes and asked the same back. Not much of a response and shortly after was told it's okay if I want to leave. I choose to and started to leave the donation for the appointment but was told not to.
Maybe my imagination but really felt like others were these and I think it might have been LE.
Hope not and really hope the girl is okay and not in any type of danger from officials.

I guess it will remain a bit of a mystery why the situation was so odd. BTW, I never made any offer to pay, I simply left a donation for the girl's time, that's the agreement in this game -- everything else is YMMV. Right. I doubt she thought I was LE but perhaps I give her too much credit for memory. The loud behaviour was at the start -- very unnatural and I took it as a signal something was not right.
Anyhow seem that it's just me and other's are confirming nothings going on with the booker or provider. That's very good news as the girl is a very nice person and doesn't deserve to have to deal with that type of problem.
They don't tell you that you can go, and not to execute the incriminating act of leaving the "donation". Their job is to try to entice you to do the incriminating act then arrest you.
Also, if the girl were not LEO but a provider being coerced, she wouldn't be loud when telling you to go and not pay, she'd try to whisper or give signals... because she'd be disobeying the LE and trying to hide it.
Sound weird, just not LE weird. No offense, but sounds like you didn't know her, and, well, she felt weird with you and not attracted to you. that would explain awkward, stiff mannerisms and an offer for you to go.
