people of all ages say things like its all good, that was good, good job and other variations of saying thats ok, everything is fine its all good.
maybe the co worker was smiling because they were happy, or were thinking about something not related to what you were saying, or that they were happy you thought everything was good.
sometimes when I am talking to someone and I see then smile I have to remind me that their smile is not always a reflection of me, my behavior or what I am saying...
for example one day my co worker and I were talking and she giggled. I started to panic thinking what the heck did I say wrong to make her giggle. I looked at her and said ok let me in on the joke whats so funny. and she said what we are talking about reminded me of something funny that happened last night to me. I relaxed because I realized I hadnt said anything wrong or behaved wrong or different, it was all on her side of smiling because she was remembering something she did the night before that related to our conversation.
one of my co workers has a novelty statue of Atlas (the greek god that held the world) on their desk that has a message wrote on it saying.... like Im to blame for your ------ world.? (thats cleaning up the saying a bit for the sites rules
)
suggestion...maybe you can ask your coworker what made them smile during that conversation.
