Girls if a guy you were talking to brought you a gift card how would you act?

so long story sorry i brought a gift card for a girl that we met at our job it was her birthday we never dated or hangout outside of work or anything like that we talked about personal stuff

when i give her the gift card she was like i can't take your money she would not take it

so i just tosh it in a garbage can outside when i was walking to catch a bus to go home
