Chapter 540 Did You Run Away From Home?
“Ouch! It hurts!” the girl kept yelling in pain
“Where does it hurt? Is it here?” Anna asked, putting her hands on the girl’s arms
“Ah!” The girl shouted in pain
“Your arm is probably dislocated,” Anna said with a frown
“Don’t move,” Anna said as she held her arm, “I’m a doctor, trust me
If you move one more time, you’ll maybe never be able to lift your arm again.”
The little girl’s eyes widened in surprise, and she stopped crying. She panicked and looked at Anna. After the girl stopped moving, Anna touched her joints and tried to reassemble them
During the process, Anna started making small talk with the girl to distract her. “Why are you running around the airport by yourself? Where are your friends?”
“| came here by myself,” the little girl replied
“You don’t sound like a Birmingham native. Did you come here for a trip?”
The girl shook her head
“So, did you run away from home?” Anna asked
In an instant, the girl became pale and looked at Anna warily. The next second. Anna attached her joints with a “click”. “Alright! You can move your arm now,” Anna said, clapping her hands
The little girl didn’t even react to what had happened. She looked at Anna in panic, then at her arm. She moved her arm a few times carefully

“No, it doesn’t hurt anymore. Thank you, ma’am!” Before the girl turned around and left, Anna took up the bag on the ground and handed it to her, saying, “Stay safe, my dear. Don’t forget to tell your parents you’re here.”
The girl laughed and said, “My parents don’t even care about what I’m doing. Ma’am, you are awesome. Which hospital are you working at? If | dislocate my shoulder again, I’ll ask you to help me with it.”
Hearing that, Anna couldn’t stop laughing and asked, “Are you sure? | don’t want you to get hurt again. And I’m going to leave now.” Anna then exited the airport lobby
Alicia, the girl, clutched her bag tightly as she watched Anna leave
She stared at Anna’s back and thought, The ladies here are so stunning and elegant! Will | be as beautiful as she is if | live here in the future?
At that precise moment, the cell phone in her pocket rang. And she answered the call
“Hello? Anthony.”
“Where are you, Alicia? Why haven’t you returned home yet?”
“I’ve gotten a job! I’m going to support myself, so | won’t go home for a while.”
“What? You have a job?! Who would hire you? You’re still underage!”
Holding her phone in her hand, Alicia strapped her bag to her back and stopped a taxi at the airport exit. After getting into the taxi, she said,
“So, what? Someone hired me!”
“That’s ridiculous! You should go home now, Alicia. You should at

Alicia then told Anthony, “| hate going to school. My high school is terrible, and I’m not learning anything there.
Okay, I’m hanging up now. I’m very safe here. Don’t call me again because you are interfering with my work.”
“Hey! Alicia! Wai…”
Alicia hung up the phone before he could finish. “Why is he even more nagging than before?” she grumbled. Then, looking out of the window, she asked the driver, “Is that a long drive, sir?”
The driver said, “Nope. We’ll be there in about a half hour because the address is in the heart of town. Is this your first time visiting Birmingham?”
“Yes! I’ve heard that Birmingham is a lovely city, so I’ve wanted to visit here for a long time,” Alicia replied, leaning out the window. She saw many beautiful sceneries on the streets that she had never seen in her hometown. As a result, she couldn’t stop taking photos with her phone
“Why are there so many racing car advertisements at the bus stop? Is there going to be an event?” Looking at the racing car advertisements, Alicia couldn’t help but ask
“Yes, these are all Carousel Group’s advertisements. The international racing competition’s opening ceremony will be held here at the end of this month,” Holding the steering wheel firmly, the driver nodded and replied
“What is the Carousel Group?” Alicia blinked and asked, “Is it famous?”
“They are well-known here because they are powerful. Also, their president is very young. Well, | don’t think he knows anything about business. Do you know what he’s up to now in business? Car racing! Can you believe it?”
After a short break, the driver kept on saying, “You may not have heard of this group, but you have probably bought something from their brand
They own many companies. Well, this is not the point. Believe it or not, the president of the group is only fifteen years old.”
Alicia exclaimed in surprise, “Wow! Can a fifteen-year-old manage such a large corporation?”
“No way! He can run the business because his father guides him secretly. In fact, | bet that he knows nothing. You see, instead of doing serious business, he began competing in racing competitions. Last week, the site of the project he was working on collapsed. The incident made the news. He will ruin the group if he does not take serious business!”
With her eyes widened in astonishment, Alicia asked, “So there are no other heirs in the group? Why do they want a fifteen-year-old boy to manage the whole group?”
“He has a sister, but no one knows her name. | heard that his father had to retire early because he was in poor health.”
Hearing his words, Alicia nodded and thought fora moment. Seems like rich kids also have a lot to worry about, she thought
About halfan hour later
“We’ve arrived, young lady.”
“Thanks. Keep the change!”
After getting out of the taxi, Alicia stood at the curb with her suitcase
She smiled as she looked at the tall building in front of her, thinking, This is where my dream begins! | can’t believe | managed to make it this far! Then she took a selfie with her phone

The location of her interview was on the twentieth floor of the building. And Alicia stood at the elevator’s entrance after pressing the elevator button
At that moment, a black car pulled up in front of the building
Matthew stepped out of the car, surrounded by a group of bodyguards and assistants. They arrived at the elevator entrance at the same time
Then Matthew’s subordinate reported, “Mr. Wright! The man in charge has arrived in the conference room. They’ve found the right person, and the application deadline is today.”
Hearing that, Alicia took a cautious step to the side. She then blushed when she saw Matthew, who was in the middle of the crowd. Staring at his handsome face, she thought to herself, This young man is so good-looking!
Is everyone in this city so attractive? I’m so glad that | will be working ina building with this handsome boy in the future!
Minutes later, the elevator doors opened slowly. Alicia was about to go in when she was stopped by the bodyguards as there would be no more room in the elevator after they all entered it
Alicia was so thin that she could barely fit in. However, a warning bell rang as she stepped into the elevator. As Alicia looked around to see who would exit the elevator. To her surprise, none of the men
beside her moved. They didn’t appear to want to leave the elevator. Annoyed, Alicia frowned
“Excuse me, young lady. We’re in a hurry, so please wait for the next elevator.” One of the men said
Alicia frowned, turned around, and grumbled, “Why should | go? | also have urgent things to do now. | got here first, and I’d been waiting a long time.”
Without saying a word, that strong man stared at her expressionlessly
Sensing the hostility in his gaze, Alicia swallowed hard. She was terrified, but she refused to admit defeat. Then, she heard a boy ask in a low, clear, and powerful voice, “Why are you all standing here? What? Are you expecting me to leave so that the elevator will go up?”
When Alicia looked up, she noticed it was the handsome boy who had just spoken. And she realized that the boy was not only attractive, but he also had a pleasant voice
Everyone in the elevator seemed to be afraid of this boy. The man who had just spoken to Alicia said, “I’m so sorry, Mr. Wright. I’m getting out now.”
The elevator’s alarm went off after the man left. Alicia couldn’t help but turn around and look at the boy again as the elevator rose. However, because there were so many people in the elevator, no one went down until they reached the twentieth floor. They appeared to be working on a higher floor. So, Alicia failed to take a closer look at Matthew
We seem to be the same age! Is hea celebrity? Alicia thought. She knew there were a lot of media companies and celebrity studios in this office building
“Hello, I’m here to apply for an interview,” Alicia said to the receptionist after she arrived at the front desk of the company that might hire her
“Who are you looking for?” The receptionist asked with a smile
“I’m looking for Amber.”
