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.

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.
