Belle Adams' Butler
Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile.

Meters away- Part 3
During the time of dinner, George sat right next to Belle and Lucas couldn't help but sit on the other side once all the food was brought to the dining room. The maids who were the ones serving them could feel the friction in the room, which was mostly coming from the butler, Lucas. When their eyes moved to look at Miss Belle, it seemed like she didn't notice as she smiled talking to George.
"Do you remember the time Simon entered Mrs. Berkel's room because he thought she stole one of the items in the house?" asked George.
"Of course, I do. Didn't we all step out of our rooms trying to get him not to do it?" Belle smiled. She then turned to look at Lucas, "Lucas was the one who sent us back to our rooms."
