The reality is that he had lasted long enough; I could even swear we did it more than three times, but I felt too embarrassed to say it.
"I... I was a virgin" I said half-heartedly.
"Is this a joke?" Weren't you Adam's girlfriend?" she asked in surprise.
"Yes, I was supposed to give up my virginity for that bastard on our wedding night. Jeez, I'm such a bitch!" I thought as I shoved my hands in my hair.
"No, you're not; you're just a single woman who needs to have fun" she added.
I was silent for a while until she spoke again "Did you use protection? What's the man's name? Did he have a big one?" she asked winking.
"Gosh!" I said teasingly "I think his name is Dylan" I remembered her husky voice as she spoke in my ear while my moans echoed in the room.
"It was just an adventure. Everything will be fine" she said.
We both started chatting while I noticed a strange tingling in my stomach.
The man seemed to have shattered everything inside me, but the pleasure was stronger than the pain.
After a few hours, Carmine offered to let me stay at his apartment while I found a place to live.
"Okay, enough talk, gotta get to work" she said yawning.
Soon we were both showered and dressed up. Luckily, she lent me some clothes, so we went to the company together.
Carmine and I got on the elevator while we chatted, but, as soon as we got off, she looked at me with a strange expression.
"Do you notice that everyone looks scared?" she hinted near me.
At her words, I scanned the place and saw that there were fewer employees than usual "Maybe there's traffic" I said, trying not to sink into thoughts.
She grimaced and walked over to the east wing, where she worked. On the other side, I walked to my hallway, but it seemed everyone had clustered in the cubicles.
"Did something happen?" I asked quizzically.
At my question, Danna looked at me with a repellent expression as she frowned. Danna was a secretary who had disliked me ever since I arrived at the company; however, before I could say anything, another employee interjected.
"You don't know? There will be an urgent management meeting. And apparently, you will be there"
"Me?"
"Weren't you the one in charge of the Amazon project?" Danna said repulsively.
The Amazon project had been the company's flagship project. However, no one had been able to sell it until I stepped in.
At that, I let out a sigh and walked to the boardroom. I had been called to bring a couple of folders, so I grabbed them all and opened the door.
The atmosphere in the boardroom was subdued. Only the senior management and a couple of department managers were there.
I scanned the place and, seeing that my father had not arrived, I felt a great relief.
On the other hand, the expression of those present was worried and nervous. I didn't understand what was going on, so I approached one of the shareholders.
"What's going on?"
"It seems that your father has decided to sell 80% of his shares to an unknown foreign investor," the old man said.
My mouth dropped open in surprise. Apparently, Carmine was right. My father had decided not to sell his shares to Adam.
Before the man could respond, however, the door opened and in walked the grim figure of Adam.
He had an angry face and clenched fists. I couldn't stop my chest from lighting up and sat down next to the old man.
Fortunately, Adam didn't even greet me, so I paid no attention to him.
However, just as I was about to grab a folder, Adam sat down next to me "I hope you're happy now that your father sold his shares to someone else and replaced me" he said.
"Mr. Adam, if we're talking about replacements, you have a degree in that, don't you" I said politely.
"Mr? Now you're going to talk to me like that?" he said, clenching his fists.
I didn't even bother to respond; I just turned away with the folder in my hand. But at that moment he picked up my folder and put it down.
"Tell me where the hell did you get those clothes?" he said with an annoyed tone.
I couldn't help but let out a smirk at his question. I wanted to rub it in his face that I had spent the night in a luxurious hotel with a much more attractive and tempting man, to whom I gave my entire body.
That man didn't even have to make me fall in love for me to let him reach into my panties. Thinking about that, a slight smile graced my lips, which seemed to make me even angrier.
"What are you laughing at? Where did you spend the night?" he asked impatiently.
"It's none of your business, Mr. Adam. By the way, I've already sent my new address to the clerk to have my things sent to me. Please expedite" I said coldly.
"Who said I'll send you your things?" he said mockingly.
"Oh, is that so? Then who said I would return this expensive engagement ring to you? It was your grandparents', wasn't it?" I said looking at my ringless finger, but with the small mark on my skin.
He clenched his fists and was silent "Sofia...".
Before Adam could add anything, the door to the living room opened and in walked my father with his black suit and serious expression.
It didn't take him even a few minutes to start with his speech about the company "With all this, I want to inform you about a big change. From now on I have sold my shares to a new entrepreneur who will perfectly take over the management of this company and its branches" he said.
I couldn't help but stare at Adam's hate-filled expression. After all, he had been wishing for such actions for many years.
"But, as you know, I have turned 70, so I will leave the company in better hands and I hope you will welcome your new boss with open arms. Dylan, come closer" said my father pointing to the man sitting next to him.
I didn't even look at the man; I just looked down at the folder and continued to ramble on about what had happened the night before.
"My pleasure..."
As soon as I heard that tone of voice, my heart began to race.
I raised my face and my eyes widened like saucers Shit! Was the world pulling my leg?
My pulse slows and all the noises disappeared in a matter of seconds.
The new owner and my boss was the same man I had slept with the night before.
I had given my virginity to my future boss!
I had tried to keep my virginity until my marriage to Adam, but alcohol overcame my will and I gave my body to Dylan, who was now my boss.
With a face full of shame, I looked down and felt like my heart was going to fly out of my chest.
