Script triggering Korn shell, how-to stop it?

Script_A.sh has
echo "In am in script A"
ksh ## K-shell is invoked.

Script B.sh ## which I am writing...
./script_A.sh
echo "I am in script B"
return 0

When I run:
$> Script_B.sh
$> I am in script A
$>

Basically, on calling Script_A.sh from within Script_B.sh I have the issue of the spawned K-shell. I can't change Script_A.sh as it's NOT owned by me. What's my alternative here, I need Script_B.sh to perform the next set of commands I execute AFTER I've run Script_A.sh...

A dirty solution would be to copy the contents from Script_A.sh and write it into Script_B.sh - but that's dirty.
