 SUMMARY: You couldn't imagine that just one random meeting can change your life forever.

 A/N: From this moment on, I'm going to post some prequels. They'll show the events leading up to the very first chapter of the Cupcake series.

Another busy day at Pierce & Pierce turned into a full mess, as you didn't know how to handle all the things you had to do, starting with some shitty paperwork and ending with a lot of calculations for the upcoming monthly report. Being an accountant in a company like that was hella tough, but you never used to complain because you loved your job, anyway.

"(Y/N)! (Y/N), do you hear me?" Your colleague called you several more times before you finally glanced at her as you were sitting at your desk, which was littered with different documents.

"Yeah, what happened?" You grumbled, rubbing your tired eyes as if it could freshen you up a bit.

"Need your help, I know you are busy, but..."

Sighing, you put your pencil on the table, taking a sip of the awful coffee you never liked. "Surprise me, what problems do we have this time?"

"Ah,come on!" she waved away, but her face turned red. "It's nothing crucial, just some courier stuff..."

"What stuff?"

With a dull thud, your colleague placed a thick folder on your desk, with some papers inside—it looked like something really important. "(Y/N), please, save me! I need to finish my report today or our old witch of a manager will tear me apart!"

Crossing your arms on your chest, you gave her a judging gaze, shaking your head and lamenting: "Did I tell you that your habit of procrastinating will end up badly?"

"I know... I just had a date yesterday and..."

Frowning, you stopped her with a hand. "Heard this story already! Better tell me who our courier is and when will he come?"

"Gosh, (Y/N)! You're the best," she nearly jumped in place before she rushed towards your desk once again and took a seat on the wooden surface of it. "I don't really remember the name of the courier service, but I remember the courier will arrive in about... Agh-an hour and a half!"

"Okay, okay," nodding your head, you grabbed a folder and pulled it closer to inspect it a bit. "To whom are we sending these docs? I can't see the recipient's address..."

"Oh shit, I probably forgot to fill it in!"

"Great...." You were about to facepalm when an unexpected knock at the door got your attention.

A slightly familiar face showed up in your office, but you couldn't remember who exactly the old woman was and your colleague seemed to be quite confused too.

"Sorry, ladies for disturbing you, but I got a call from the receptionist. It said some courier was waiting for his package."

Now, you were furious. "But you said an hour and a half!"

"Sorry, sorry! I probably mixed something up... Wait! I have a card which belongs to the one guy from that company," she quickly gave it to you, looking very embarrassed. "There should be an address!"

"You better hope it's correct," you stood up from your armchair, taking the folder with you as you were in a nervous rush, and you hated situations like that. "And when I come back, I don't want to know how you got this card, okay?"

Scowling, you excused yourself to the old lady in the doorways as you moved past her, sensing yourself on the verge of annoyance.
