"And this person is,"
Most of them curiously held their breaths as the bot continued playing with them.
"And the person is," Piku teased again as its screen started loading with the person's band number, "Band Number 28, with a feelings ratio of 8.7 by 9.2 of the heart rate!"
And everyone looked around, mostly checking each other's band for the number. While a few ladies sighed out loud in relief as it wasn't their bands and were out of the embarrassing game, only Kyra looked worried as she stared at the screen of her band.
Number 28 was surely her lucky number now!
And as everyone looked around, even a few male workers as the ladies seemed to be observing them sneakily, George realized that 28 was the last band, which Anna as passed to Kyra. His eyes instantly fell on Kyra who was staring at her band, oddly silent and even paling out as if she had seen a ghost.
She was the number 28 and her look was clearly saying it out loud! He smirked as this would be an exciting show, now that enemies were forced to be lovers!
"OMG, it's Kyra's band!" A girl declared and everyone gasped as that wasn't the outcome they were expecting.
Even the frog looked at her in shock, while Kyra tensed as Anna rushed to check her band.
She had a crush on who? This guy who had been a real pain in the last three days? Oh god, this device was defective!
"This is absurd!" Kyra removed the band and threw it away, angrily.
And so did the frog, as it freed its neck from that garbage and threw away his blue band! The Love Bind device immediately got disconnected, and the screen shut off, as the main receiver had deactivated his connection.
Kyra had a crush on Kevin? And she was head over heels for him according to that frequency rate! Oh, my god! This looked like a dream to most of them, but a nightmare to Kyra and Kevin.
And before Kyra could explain herself as she felt their curious gaze, or even curse that damn useless, trash device, people started making theories of their own!
"This is new," A few started chatting among themselves as the topic was worth their gossip time.
"I always thought Kyra hated him, but look at her, hahaha,"
"I know right, it looks like she hid her feelings too well behind their heated fights!"
"Looks like she fought with him out of love and not hatred, hahaha!"
"Haha, look at her! Blushing all red now!"
"Wait, weren't these guys actually living together?"
"Yeah, I heard it's been a couple of days. Maybe, her emotions ignited in this span of time haha!"
Kyra turned at those ladies from the management team and glared at them. Only if she could shut all their mouths with her spell. They were literally talking trash!
"I I think this device is defective, it is showing wrong results" She mumbled squatting down and putting that junk back in the box.
"I need to ask for a refund," She grumbled hastily putting the tab back, cursing herself for falling into a lame fraud! Who wouldn't when you are in dire need of anything that could save your life! Save and detach you from someone who had been suffocating you day and night!
Last night when she saw its ad, she couldn't help but try it out though she knew it was just a gimmick to attract teens! And when she saw ratings, only by hopeless fools from high school, university, and colleges on its official site, she should have followed her instinct now that it was a total regret!
Wait, hadn't they agreed to try that Kiss cure with the person with the highest rate? George's mind suddenly recalled the agreement at the wrong time!
"But, didn't you say they are pretty real, unlike the other fake love gadgets?" George who had been silently observing suddenly croaked and his stretchy smile made her brow knot in annoyance.
"Come on, Kyra! You are just going back on your words!" He added with a salty laugh, making everyone curious about Kyra's real interests.
Wait, did she actually like Kevin? Like for real?
"If you like him, you need to admit it!" He added much to her displeasure and she just glared at him.
"After all, your last make-out rumor in the Chief's office is already convincing for this device to be right!"
"Shut up, will you?" Kyra yelled at him, his words wear making her cringe as those unpleasant, worth-dying moments of her real were resurfacing on her mind!
"Oh come on! It's ok if you like him! Maybe even love him actually!" George sweetly smiled, making Andrew shake his head. This guy never missed bullying people in the wrong situation!
"I do not like him!" Kyra uttered gritting her teeth, her gut was burning down with anger now!
"But the results say something else!" George calmly stated, and thinking about the score, he continued with a smirk, "It's 8.7 out of 10! Come on, the ratio is enough to uncover your lies!"
"I am not lying!" Kyra added again holding her breath! He was totally getting on her nerves, and she was losing her patience!
"Then prove it!" George said, and as everyone looked at him confused and even Kevin as he knew what he had been planning, he just smiled at him.
"Prove it by hmmm," Tapping his chin, he innocently added, "Kissing him!"
What? No, Never! She wouldn't kiss that sticky frog! Not in this lifetime!
And when she glared at him, even Andrew and Venessa as he was just creating a chaos, he tried explaining, "I mean if you really don't like him, he would still be a frog after the kiss."
"But," Smiling presumptously at her, George totally trapped her in his demand, "Unlike your lies, if you like him instead, he will transform back into his human form! Wouldn't that be great news for all of us! Especially for you two?"
No, this was not a good time to play some pranks! She literally had this thought in her look, but George pretty much had given everyone a reason for them to try that kiss cure!
"Yes, he is right!"
"Kiss him Kyra, and prove that device wrong!"
"Yes, you should go for it!" Soon people started agreeing with that asshole, as couldn't help but suspect her words as well as actions.
Why would a device lie when it was very popular for its accuracy? And why would she suddenly start caring so much about Kevin in the last few days? Every little detail just proved that Kyra had started liking Kevin!
"Are you all nuts?" Andrew finally came to her rescue, but it was too late.
"Go back and spend your gossip time working!" He roared getting up from his seat and everyone just sighed out loud.
But no one moved from their spots even when he glared at them with his red eyes. Even if he scolded them all day, they would stand here and wait for Kyra's answer!
"Didn't you hear him?" Venessa got up and glared at her unit. And when they glared back, she yelled, "Do you guys wish to get your resignation laters signed?"
"Ohh, it really looks like you are ready to get kicked out for something absolutely nonsense!" She added crossing her arms as they stuck to their spot! They were being insolent brats now!
"Move, right now!" She screamed out of her lungs, and most of them sighed slowly walking out of the lounge.
"I will kiss him!" Suddenly Kyra who had been silent till now declared, making everyone stop in their tracks.
"Wha-what did you say?" Kevin who also was also silent, feeling uneasy just like she questioned in utter shock.
No, anyone else but her! He wouldn't let her kiss him, not even his current frog lips!
"I will kiss him!" She said again, this time looking at George who was very much pleased by her decision.
Kyra gave it a thought, and she needed to kiss him now! Not just her pride, but even her self-respect was at stake, as people would only talk about how she hid her feelings and denied kissing him. And if she did, at least those rumors that might spread like fire about her unrequited love story, would end then and there with that kiss! She needed to save her face, and sacrificing her first kiss was the only option!
Grabbing the frog, she placed it in her hand and avoided staring into its eyes.
"No, Kyra!" The frog tried escaping but she held him with her free hand.
"I swear I will murder you if do it!"
"Kyra, no! I will puke inside your mouth if you come any closer." Kevin grumbled protesting as she held trapped him with her fingers, and moved her hand closer to her face.
Gulping reluctantly, she closed her eyes and brought her lips close to that of the frog's! Hesitating will only make it harder for her, so she instantly kissed it, even almost biting its tiny lip when it protested against her soft ones.
The moment their lips touched, something sparked around Kevin's body. Feeling the hotness, she opened her eyes in confusion, only to widen in shock!
She instantly threw the frog on the ground as if he was some virus, and shivered when she saw that white spark glow around its body.
Wait, was he transforming back into a human? Holy hell, he was actually transforming back since the white spark continued to glow!
