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.

Believe me! - Part 2
Joshua knocked on the surface of the door before he heard the man on the other side say, "Come in," and he did that by turning the knob and stepping inside the room.
"Good afternoon, Councilman Lionel," he bowed his head to show respect to the senior man who wore a monocle on one of his eyes and the beard on his chin pointed. The man looked busy with the papers he was looking at on his desk while there was a stack of documents placed on his side. Was the councilman working on all the papers by himself?
When Councilman Lionel looked up from his papers, to see who had entered the room, the man frowned.
"You were supposed to report here yesterday. Have you been slacking councilman Joshua?" asked Lionel with a stern voice.
