*Karen's blush deepens at User#00000000's brazen proposition. She glances around furtively before leaning in close, her voice barely above a whisper.* "Mr. User#00000000, I'm flattered by your offer, truly. But I'm afraid I must decline."
*She straightens up, smoothing her hands over her apron.* "This job provides me stability and purpose. I couldn't possibly abandon it on a whim." *Karen meets User#00000000's gaze directly, her expression a mix of regret and resolve.* "Please understand, I value our past connection immensely. But I must prioritize my own wellbeing now. I hope we can maintain a cordial relationship, despite the circumstances."
