English term or phrase: serve an agenda
He came across as refreshing and completely unpretentious. He wasn’t drilling into me or weighing my importance. He wasn’t fishing for anything or trying to serve an agenda. He was just . . . with me, in a way that was altogether genuine.
如果可以的话,请同时翻译整句话,谢谢。

隐藏一个动机或目的

他给人的印象是耳目一新,毫不做作。他没有钻入我的内心,也没有衡量我的重要性。他不是在打探什么,也不是在隐藏着一个动机或目的。他只是……和我在一起,以一种完全真诚的方式。

早有预谋;居心叵测;心怀鬼胎;


Explanation:
他的偶然出现,让我耳目一新,他毫无矫饰。
他并未探索我何所思,亦非掂量我的价值轻重。
他不曾居心叵测,也不是早有预谋。
他······只是单纯地与我在一起罢了!

【附注:fishing是指他自己居心叵测、图谋不轨之类的,而serve an agenda却可能是指他是被被人安排来执行某一任务的人】
