Chapter 470: Fallen Angel
Hearing Liji-Xiaosi’s words, Jia Na merely smiled faintly and replied casually, “This is called being attentive.”
“Jia Na, you’re finally here!”
Before Jia Na could finish speaking, David-Berg, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, strode quickly towards her.
“How about we go to the office and catch up? Commander Roman is also waiting for you.”
“Of course. Could you get me a cup of coffee?”
“Thanks, did you buy this?”
“That’s right.”
“You’re really thoughtful!”
After receiving the coffee Jia Na handed him, David-Berg didn't hesitate to praise her profusely.
“Let’s go, superstar.”
Saying this, David-Berg made a 'please' gesture towards Jia Na, inviting her into a small meeting room nearby.
“Why don’t you go up and say hello?”
In a corner on the second floor, the actress Hill, holding a coffee and watching Jia Na, who had already entered the small meeting room with David-Berg, asked Freya, who was eagerly looking at Jia Na.
“Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities later. I’m not in a hurry right now—”
“Really?”
Looking at Freya, who seemed to be speaking insincerely, Hill merely shrugged and said indifferently.
The beautiful Hill and the pure-spirited Freya were the two mermaid sisters who played Olivia, the character Jia Na portrayed in “song of the ocean.”
It was precisely because of that joint performance that Freya, who had always been arrogant, became a “die-hard fan” of Jia Na.
However, this “die-hard” love had been well hidden by Freya; she hadn't shown it even in front of Jia Na, until her former “arch-rival,” Hill, noticed it.
“Are you very free right now? How do you have time to meddle in my business?”
Freya, who had once again been tricked into revealing something by Hill, looked at her opponent with a hint of annoyance after she regained her composure.
“No matter how busy I am, it doesn’t stop me from enjoying the show, right, Freya?”
“Hmph!”
Seeing Hill’s teasing expression, Freya merely snorted coldly and left the “place of trouble” with a dark expression.
“Jia Na, how have you been doing lately?”
As soon as she pushed open the door, Jia Na saw Commander Roman-Roland, who was usually quite aloof, looking at her with a warm expression.
“Thanks to you, I’m doing well—this is hot coffee I brought for you.”
“Okay, thank you.”
After receiving Jia Na’s coffee, Roman-Roland gestured with his eyes to David-Berg, who was standing nearby.
Receiving the cue, David-Berg quickly took out two brown envelopes with nightingale patterns from a cabinet near the door.
“Jia Na, this is the ‘Supplementary Agreement’ I mentioned in my letter. Please take a look and see if there’s anything that needs to be amended.”
Hearing Roman-Roland’s words, Jia Na, who was sitting on the sofa, took the brown envelope handed to her by David-Berg, opened it, and took out the agreement inside.
Because this agreement was a supplement to the previous formal agreement, its content was relatively short. In just a moment, Jia Na had finished reading all of it.
“There are no issues with the content of the agreement.”
Unlike the first formal agreement, which detailed Jia Na’s entitlements and obligations, the supplementary agreement focused on a secondary supplement to the cassette royalty income.
After all, among Jia Na’s current income, in addition to major sources such as performance fees, year-end dividends, and endorsement fees, cassette royalties had also become an important and unignorable source of income.
Therefore, to ensure better cooperation between both parties, Roman-Roland proactively proposed to refine the content regarding the cassette income sharing, thereby expressing his sincerity in continuing to cooperate with Jia Na.
“That’s good, then let’s sign the contract.”
Saying this, Roman-Roland signed his name on both copies of the contract. Immediately after, Jia Na also signed her name with the quill pen handed to her by David-Berg.
“Here, this is your copy of the contract.”
“Thank you.”
After completing the signing of the supplementary agreement, Jia Na put her copy of the agreement into her thorn bracelet.
Just then, David-Berg placed the second brown envelope in front of Jia Na and then sat down next to Roman-Roland.
“Now that the contract issue is resolved, it’s time to talk about work. David, you can explain.”
“Understood, Commander.”
Watching their coordinated interaction, Jia Na silently lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, then opened the second envelope. “Jia Na, the reason I was so eager to have you come over this time, besides the contract, was to show you my newly written script—”
“Fallen Angel.”
After opening the envelope, the first thing that caught Jia Na’s eye were the five bolded characters printed on the script’s cover.
“This is a brand new story I wrote using religious culture as the creative background and the element of angels. It’s very suitable for you.”
The script wasn't thin; it would take about two hours for Jia Na to read it from beginning to end without using Reading Magic.
However, from the story synopsis on the first page of the script and David-Berg's enthusiastic description, Jia Na roughly understood what the script was about. As the youngest daughter of the Lord of Heaven—Isabel—she was a special angel born without angel wings. Despite being such a unique existence, Isabel had widespread followers in the human realm.
The Lord of Heaven, as Isabel’s creator, was also the main antagonist in the script. Driven by personal desires, he began to endlessly inflict disasters upon humanity, turning the human world into a frozen wasteland.
To save humanity from the harsh winter, Isabel presumptuously stole the divine fire and scattered it among humans. Because of this, Isabel was stripped of her divinity by the Lord of Heaven and imprisoned in purgatory.
Later, Isabel, having accepted the power of darkness, transformed into a dark angel amidst immense suffering. She gained unparalleled power, personally sealed the hypocritical Lord of Heaven, and saved humanity from impending doom.
At that moment, amidst the hymns of human faith, Isabel shed her black feathers and grew twelve pairs of holy wings, becoming the true Lord of Heaven. Overall, this story, featuring Isabel, a naturally “flawed” female angel, as the protagonist, is very similar in its core character to Natasha, the role Jia Na played in “blood shadow rose.” At the same time, Isabel’s self-sacrificing storyline in this story also bears some resemblance to parts of the plot in “song of the ocean,” but their underlying meanings are completely different.
