English translation:It is not quite clear from the context..
Explanation:
....what did she want to say as "a dobar glas(?)" ("But, what about my (good)reputation?") cannot be an answer to your question.

If you have asked her to do something indecent than she might have answered: "But, what about my (good)reputation?".
I think that she might be referring to something you said or asked before.

how about good reputation


Explanation:
...only if a question mark was intended at the end. this is figurative. the literal translation would be "how about a good voice".

a good voice


Explanation:
her answer doesn't seem to be inquisitive, which makes me think she literally wants a good voice (although the 'a' doesn't make much sense then).
