Explain your answer by referencing the text. Mr. Ericson was a manager at a small insurance company in Minnesota. One cold day in January, April McKenzie, one of his employees, approached him about some time off from work. "This job is very important to me, Mr. Ericson, but I've been called into jury duty. When my government asks for my help, I have to answer the call." Mr. Ericson rubbed his forehead. "We really need you here, April, but the government needs you more. Take the time. We'll be alright." Mr. Ericson thought that they needed her there, but they managed fine without her. A week passed and April returned to the office. When April returned, Mr. Ericson noticed that most of her body was a shade of bright red except for around her eyes. Pale white circles ran from the top of her eyebrows to the bottom of her cheeks. These pale circles around her eyes were surrounded by sunburned flesh. That's when Mr. Ericson knew. "April, step into my office. There are some things we need to discuss," Mr. Ericson said ominously.
