Chapter 469 : Fallen Angel
Chapter 469: Fallen Angel
Hearing Liji Silks’s remark, Janna simply smiled faintly and replied offhandedly:
“This is called being thoughtful.”
“Janna, you’re finally here!”
Before Janna could finish speaking, David-Berg, whom she hadn’t seen in quite some time, strode briskly toward her.
“How about catching up in the office for a bit? Roman is waiting for you too.”
“Of course. Grab a cup of coffee.”
“Thanks. You bought these?”
“That’s right.”
“You’re really considerate!”
Accepting the coffee Janna handed over, David-Berg didn’t hold back in his lavish praise.
“Come on, superstar.”
With that, David-Berg made a polite gesture, inviting Janna into a small conference room nearby.
“Why don’t you go say hello?”
In a corner on the second floor, actress Hill, sipping her coffee, turned to Freya—who was watching Janna longingly—and asked.
“There will be plenty of chances in the future. I’m not in a rush.”
“Really?”
Seeing Freya’s clearly insincere response, Hill just shrugged nonchalantly.
The alluring Hill and the innocent-looking Freya were the two mermaid sisters who had acted alongside Janna—who played【Olivia】—in *Song of the Ocean*.
It was precisely that shared performance that had turned the once proud and aloof Freya into one of Janna’s “diehard fans.”
Only, Freya had always hidden her fan devotion very well—even in front of Janna herself—until her former “rival,” Hill, saw through it.
“Do you have nothing better to do? Why are you poking your nose into my business?”
Having once again been baited into talking by Hill, Freya looked annoyed once she realized it.
“No matter how busy I am, I can always spare a moment for a bit of fun. Right, Freya?”
“Hmph!”
With Hill teasing her with that playful expression, Freya merely gave a cold snort and left that “troublesome place” with a dark expression.
“Janna, how have you been lately?”
As soon as she opened the door, Janna saw the usually reserved Roman-Roland now greeting her with warmth.
“Thanks to you, I’ve been doing well—and this is some hot coffee I brought for you.”
“Thank you.”
After accepting the coffee from Janna, Roman-Roland gave a subtle glance toward David-Berg.
Catching the signal, David-Berg quickly fetched two brown file folders bearing the Nightingale emblem from a cabinet by the door.
“Janna, this is the supplemental agreement I mentioned in my letter. Take a look and see if there’s anything you’d like to change.”
Hearing Roman-Roland’s words, Janna, seated on the sofa, took the brown folder from David-Berg, opened it, and pulled out the document inside.
Since this was a supplement to the previous official contract, the contents were fairly brief. It only took Janna a short while to read through everything.
“There’s no issue with the terms.”
Unlike the first formal contract, which detailed Janna’s entitlements and obligations, this supplemental agreement focused specifically on the revenue share from cassette tape sales.
Nowadays, in addition to acting fees, year-end bonuses, and endorsement deals, the revenue from cassette tapes had become an increasingly significant part of Janna’s income.
Thus, to ensure smooth cooperation, Roman-Roland had proactively proposed refining the terms regarding cassette revenue to demonstrate his sincerity in continuing their collaboration.
“Great. Then let’s go ahead and sign.”
With that, Roman-Roland signed both copies of the contract. Janna followed suit, signing her name with the feather pen that David-Berg handed over.
“Here, this one’s your copy.”
“Thank you.”
Once the signing was complete, Janna stored her copy of the agreement into her【Thorn Bracelet】.
At that moment, David-Berg placed a second brown folder in front of Janna and sat down beside Roman-Roland.
“Now that the contract is settled, we should talk about work. David, go ahead and explain.”
“Yes, Captain.”
Watching the two men working in tandem, Janna silently took a sip of coffee, then opened the second file folder.
“Janna, the reason I asked you to come so urgently, aside from the contract, was to show you my new script—”
*Fallen Angel.*
As soon as Janna opened the folder, the title printed in bold on the script’s cover leapt out at her.
“This is a new story I wrote using religious culture as the backdrop, with angels as the central theme. It’s a perfect fit for you.”
The script wasn’t short. Without using【Magic Reading】, it would take Janna roughly two hours to finish it from start to end.
However, just from the plot summary on the first page and David-Berg’s eager explanation, Janna already grasped the general idea of the story:
As the youngest daughter of the Lord of Heaven—【Isabel】—she was born a unique angel without wings. Despite this,【Isabel】had a wide following among the human kingdoms.
The Lord of Heaven, who was also her creator and the story’s main antagonist, began to unleash endless calamities upon humanity to satisfy his own selfish desires, turning the world into a frozen wasteland.
In order to save humankind from the cold and despair,【Isabel】secretly stole the fire of creation and scattered it across the world. For this, she was stripped of her divinity by the Lord of Heaven and imprisoned in purgatory.
Eventually, after embracing the powers of darkness,【Isabel】was corrupted into a Dark Angel through immense suffering. Gaining unparalleled strength, she personally sealed the deceitful Lord of Heaven and saved humanity from annihilation.
At that moment, amidst the prayers and worship of humankind,【Isabel】shed her black feathers and grew twelve pairs of pure, holy wings—becoming the true Lord of Heaven.
Overall, the story centered around a “flawed” female angel like【Isabel】echoed the emotional core of Janna’s previous role as【Natasha】in *Bloodshadow Rose*.
Moreover,【Isabel】’s self-sacrificing narrative also bore some resemblance to the storyline in *Song of the Ocean*, yet the deeper message was wholly distinct.
