Mr. Imperfect

chapter 47



When Rori finally tracked Mike down he was literally in the rafters with Fredrik holding a ladder for him.

“Ah, so you did make it here,” she said, trying to keep the annoyance out of her voice.

Mike’s face popped into view above her. “Hi, there. Yep. I got here. Fredrik was just letting check out anchor points.”

“Oh. Sounds fun.”

Fredrik wiggled his eyebrows and kept his voice soft when he added, “He’s gone up and down this ladder six times already.”

Rori rolled her eyes. “Well, let me know when you want to break for dinner. My treat.”

“Oh, Fredrik invited us both to his place,” Mike said.

“He did?” Rori said, sending Fredrik a narrow look.

Fredrik didn’t even try to apologize. “The food will be fabulous, won’t it, Rori? You’ve been to our soirees.”

“Yes,” she said, her smile plastic. “Excellent food.”

“Great,” Mike beamed. “I’ll just keep poking around for camera spots until then.”

“Great,” Rori echoed, hoping she sounded sincere. “I’ll finish up with some stuff upstairs.”

“Perfect,” Fredrik said and sent her a little wave. “I’ll make sure he finds your place and gets showered.”

Yeah. She just bet he would. The man was very lucky they were in public and in front of witnesses, because Rori was one breath away from strangling Fredrik as she stormed away.
