That's fine, but that's not something you'd handle as a Quick Contest, and therefore not an Influence roll. You could use it as an attempt on her part to gain his Loyalty, through a series of regular contests of her Influence skill against his Will or his preexistent Loyalty. SE spells out most of that.
