Hostile Meeting

Aaron was praying that Eliza wouldn't be the first to arrive. He was notified when her plane landed a little while ago, and even though he assumed her luggage would take at least fifteen minutes to transfer to the car he sent to pick her up, she could very well arrive in his office early.
