Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 261

"Didn't have a chance to let anyone know?" Joshua checked his watch. "It's getting late, and I need to grab these documents and head out."

Grandma Emily furrowed her brows, her tone tinged with a bit of reprimand. "Why don't you stay for dinner before you go? If something crops up, I'll take care of it."

"That's not going to fly," Joshua replied with his usual laid-back attitude. "You can't represent the company on your own. Just wait, you'll probably get a call soon asking you to head back for a board meeting."
