Lisa's eyebrows go up into her bangs. He'd just met her less than five minutes ago, and he's talking about pulling strings? This guy is scary. Nice, supportive, but scary. And so while part of her wants to take the offer-

"I appreciate it, but with everything going on with, well-" she gestures around her at the meeting- "I should probably wait a bit before I depend on your goodwill, yeah? I don't wanna go for it and then something stupid happens with all this. I'll keep that in mind, though - that's a big deal and I'd be stupid not to take you up on it once things are stable." She smiles at him, taking a breath. "That's quite a rise, though. Rags to riches, huh?"
