His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 242

Stephen said, "We just haven't had the chance to tell you yet."

He glanced at his watch. "It's getting late. I need to grab the documents and go."

Rowena's expression darkened, and her tone was reproachful. "You're not leaving until after dinner. If anything comes up, I'll handle it."

Stephen replied casually, "That's not how it works. You don't have the authority to speak for the company, do you? Just wait. You'll be getting a call soon about a board meeting."

Without another word, he ignored everyone in the hall and headed upstairs.

The Webbs exchanged glances.

Thomas spoke up first. "Mrs. Jacobson Senior, does Stephen not realize this dinner is meant to formally introduce him to Jocelyn? Doesn't he know that both our families agreed to set this up?"

Even though Thomas was two years older than Rowena, her status and influence meant he had to address her respectfully as "Mrs. Jacobson Senior".

His words were polite enough not to put Rowena on the spot.

But Aria didn't bother hiding her frustration. "Mrs. Jacobson Senior, what is Stephen's deal? Jocelyn is standing right in front of him, and he just ignored her. Is he playing dumb, or does he seriously not know what this dinner is about?"
