I want to write a male, corporate working, character who is always cheerful and smiling, no matter whatever the situation he is in. As a result, reading his thoughts or motives is almost impossible...

I want to write a male, corporate working, character who is always cheerful and smiling, no matter whatever the situation he is in. As a result, reading his thoughts or motives is almost impossible. He is also good looking and smart. And he almost always agrees with everybody and just goes with the flow. Never seems to disagree with anyone or have an opinion.

And, almost all people who encounter him really just hate him and find him annoying. They hate his guts and his overwhelming persona. Most people who meet him know there is something off about him but they don't know what that is and no matter how much they try to uncover it always ends up backfiring or does more damage to them.

And they are right to be worried about him. See, while this guy is very good at his job he really as a very nasty side to him. He basically want to toy around or dick around with all of his colleagues or peers. He wants to mess around with all of them and not really cares what happens to them or himself either. He wants people to be annoyed by him. He wants them to loathe. It makes his life more interesting and gives him some purpose to his life. Watching other people detest him excites him.

Any, suggestion how write such a character ? Make him convincing and Interesting ?
