Ulterior Motive

 is a hidden reason for doing something — a reason that someone is not openly explaining.

Examples:

1- In social situations, trust often depends on believing that people are acting sincerely. When people begin to feel that someone has an ulterior motive, it can create doubt.

2- A colleague suddenly became extremely friendly and helpful. At first, it seemed kind and generous. But after a while, people started wondering if there was an ulterior motive behind that behavior.
