Twelve years later: Olivia inadvertently interrupts an FBI sting when she punches the CEO of an investment firm, Eric Jorguson, for ripping her dress during a job interview. Why does he attack Olivia? Who does he believe she is? What are the FBI hoping to catch Jorguson admitting to or doing?

He thought that her questions weren't just Olivia wanting basic information, that she was wearing a wire. The FBI wanted him to implicate himself and his client the arms dealer,

What a real piece of work Eric is and then threatens her as well. Glad she fought back. I don't think her questions warranted him going crazy and ripping her dress in public she was just feeling him out if it would be a good fit for her to work.

This scene was too hard for me to believe. Successful business people don't act that way in public, whether they are good or bad. They wouldn't be successful if they did. But this was a set up by the author for a meet cute so I let it go.

Julie Garwood certainly does a marvelous Meet-Cute.

Garwood is definitely the queen of "meet-cutes"! And often the instant unbelievablely strong attraction.

There are a lot of wealthy people who believe they can get away with anything. Jorguson is a perfect example. Jorguson knew he was under surveillance so I can see his overreacting to Olivia's questions, but tearing her dress deserves a good punch in the face. He proved he was a jerk by the way he treated her before she asked questions,

It was a good meet-cute.

I agree, Sharon. Jorgunson knew the FBI was watching him. He suspected that Olivia was wearing a wire to get information to implicate him in a crime. I was surprised that he would make a scene like that. Why didn't he just shut up and tell her to go away when she started asking questions?
