These goons probably thought they were being sent to retrieve some fuckup the boss felt obligated to, but now that they know Giovanni actually likes him they’re mentally running through every rude thing they might have done or said in their heads.
I’m trying to resist the urge to over-explain things going on in the framework of the comic and just leave body language and dialogue hang for people to interpret, but I do want to point out that Giovanni didn’t stop smiling politely until they got behind closed doors because he knows his underlings are looking to his reactions to make up their minds about Surge.
