Chapter 52
Uchiha Mikoto felt extremely wronged and unwilling. After all, she was only thirteen, at the prime of her youth, looking utterly pitiful. Her expression alone could invoke sympathy.
Haruto Saito, however, simply gave her a deadpan look. In his eyes, Uchiha Mikoto's acting was still too immature. By comparison, Uchiha Fugaku was an exceptional performer.
The Academy Awards owed him an Oscar!
"Hurry up! Stop dawdling and apologize to Haruto-san!" Uchiha Fugaku reprimanded once again.
"Yes! Yes!" Uchiha Mikoto, looking as though she had been startled like a little rabbit, quickly responded. She took a few quick steps forward and suddenly bowed deeply to Haruto. "I'm sorry, Haruto-san! Please forgive me!"
A perfect ninety-degree bow!
"Oh?" Haruto raised an eyebrow, then shrugged indifferently. "Alright... I don't forgive you!"
"Tha—" Uchiha Mikoto was just about to say, "Thank you for your kindness," but the words caught in her throat. Her head shot up as she glared at Haruto in disbelief.
Haruto flashed her a bright smile.
"You—" Uchiha Mikoto was on the verge of losing her mind.
Even Uchiha Fugaku looked a little embarrassed. This wasn't in the script! Wasn't Haruto supposed to accept the apology graciously?
