"It's her, not him!"
Lynch corrected Penny's mistake in the sentence.
In the universal language, 'she' and 'he' are not the same word, but there's also a collection of he/she/it, which leans more towards neutrality, but it's only used in certain special circumstances.
In this clear case where the gender of the subject is known, it's best to clearly point out which term to use to avoid problems.
The maid's face instantly turned bright red, Penny was kneeling on the sofa, her hand gripping the maid's dress, a strange... very unusual light gleaming in her eyes.
Lynch glanced at the carpet, "This carpet cost me over forty thousand..."
The maid's body began to tremble slightly, forty thousand is not a price she could possibly afford.
In fact, nothing in this room is something she could afford, at least not right now.
