On whose approved petition are you going to return to US? Remember you not only need a valid visa but an approved I797 to go with it too. Also, if you are working with B without approved petition, it could be risky as if eventually B's petition is denied, all that period would be considered out of status.

If you want to move to C, ask them to file in premium and re enter US on C's petition.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
