Nice Guys Always Finish Last Novels & Stories

"Sam, I really didn't mean for this to happen! I just didn't want Jess to blame you, so I hurried to bring it back. I…" She seemed too flustered to go on, so the other operators jumped in to help her. "It's just a watch. Celia just borrowed it, and it's not like she was keeping it. Why are you making such a big deal?" "She even hurt her knee and elbow rushing to return it!" "We're all on the same team. Isn't helping each other what we're supposed to do? Jessica, you are one of our best broadcasters! No need to be so petty!"

Then they vanished. They were edited. Messed up. Shut down. Still I dug deeper. I need pieces of information. Always pieces. Reports from years ago. Different places.. Same pattern. “Not much blood.. Picked targets. People who survived.” Every file ended the way. They were. Stopped. Not solved.. Hidden. My heart stayed calm.. Something else got tighter. Then I saw it. A name that wasn’t fully erased. “Cassian.” No last name. No where he was from or destination. It was there.

That night, my phone kept buzzing nonstop. I opened the company chat group. The pinned message was last month's performance summary. I glanced over it. My name was dead last, at the very bottom of the rankings. All the project results that should have been credited to me had been reassigned to Theodore. He was now in first place, far ahead of everyone else. The group chat had long since blown up, overflowing with flattery and bootlicking comments. "Mr. Wesley is amazing! No wonder he's the star of our department!"

I got ready and she drove us to the city that I had been dreading to go to. I left everything behind and yet here I am again going back. I just looked out and so much had changed since then. I have changed, everything around me has changed. And I know for certain that even Conan has changed. I would stalk him on the internet, and he has been doing well. When I knew him he was a millionaire and now I hear that he has reached billionaire status. He is still the most eligible bachelor like when I met him. Eligible bachelor huh, so people don’t know that I am legally still his wife?

" He had even seen the moment we got engaged. At this point, though, it felt like we could never return to those happier times. It all began when he started putting someone else before me, leaving me in the dust. When he and Janet were together, they were in their own world, and I was the outsider. When they shared a bed without a second thought, that was the last straw. The unwritten rule was clear: a third wheel spelled disaster for love. We had lost our way, and there was no turning back. The professor sighed. "I'll handle this. Someone will get in touch with you soon. Just tell them what you need." I glanced at the last two chances for forgiveness I was holding onto and finally spoke, "A

"That happened a very long time ago, much before the two of us ever met! Were you aware of who he was? [Not a question] If I were to mention the name Jason Richter to you, would you be able to identify him as a major league baseball player without hesitation? The outcome of that game was totally immaterial to us in any way, shape, or form. The fact that the guys urged that we go was the only thing that finally convinced the three of us to comply and go. When Darren, Airlene, and Marvin were watching that meaningless game, the rest of us painted our nails. We went absolutely insane on F******k while using our mobile devices.

As I finished doing my morning routine, I immediately jumped out of the bus only to see the guys waiting for me. Now this... is surprising. My hands slid down to my sides, "Thanks.." I whispered, "—and sorry to keep you all waiting." I finished. "Nah!" They exclaimed in unison with smiles on their faces. "Being the only girl in the group, it is only right that we, the gentlemen, to handle you with care." "I assume you were aware that the guys you are with are this way, hm?" Harry winks. I giggled, "Yes of course.. thank you."

Coden asked me. "Nowhere" I replied while eating my pancakes. "I don't like the new guy that came with you yesterday" Cole stated while stabbing the pancake. Oh, poor pancakes! "You mean Luke but why?" I asked. I didn't like the idea of Cole hating Luke at all. "Because of him, I had to move on the 3rd floor and my room is right next to Killian. He was making fun of me." Cole said huffing. Killian was my Mom's distant relative. He was an arrogant and rude bad boy. He was also a popular playboy of our school. He treated human girls like a tissue, use and throw. Everyone absolutely detested him and so did I.

He had just thought of an option to find work in a place he thought this girl would frequent and found that he did not have to bother with it. "You took a long time! We've been waiting for half an hour!" A girl with a masculine face and ponytail—Priska Cirillo—who was sitting across from Amanda complained of annoyance, as did a cute kid with curly blonde hair and light blue eyes—Thyme Umberbridge—who was sitting next to the masculine girl while still staring at his smartphone screen. Besides Amanda, a boy with glasses—Gerald Tan—continued to glare at him. Ah, this was why Rachel laughed after leaving earlier. That bastard!
