Bonsai Lost 95% of Leaves - What to Do?

Hi guys
I have really a problem with my Bonsai, can anyone help please.
I got it 2 weeks ago; at first it looked really healthy and green. I bought it as an indoor plant for my place. But then its health started to deteriorate, and until today it lost 95% of its leaves and the soil looks all the time dry, although I'm watering it regularly.
I read most of the comments and hints in this site, and also I read and asked a lot about it, so I came with a conclusion to fertilize it.

At the moment I took the plant to my office, the lighting is very good; temperature is constant all the time at around 25c; I just brought the fertilizer liquid, which I will hopefully use tomorrow, and finally I'm watering it regularly.
Can anyone help please? What am I missing? :(

Thanks

Not knowing what type of tree, it's hard to say. Often evergreens can be dead and look healthy; you would not be the first to buy a dead tree...

See if you can find out what it is (or post a photo) and we'll check it out...
