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."

Mr. Walsh was the first to break the silence. "Does Joshua not realize that tonight's dinner was set up by both our families so he and Sarah could officially meet?"

Even though Mr. Walsh was two years older than Grandma Emily, he still showed respect by addressing her formally due to her status. His words were carefully chosen.

Grandma Emily's displeasure was written all over her face. "Mrs. Walsh, what does your grandson mean by this? Sarah was right there, and he didn't even acknowledge her. Is he pretending not to know, or is he genuinely clueless about the importance of tonight's dinner?"
