It's kinda hard to say for sure. I got a couple thoughts on it:

- On one hand, a supervisor saying to have a nice evening isn't that weird on its own. They're just being friendly, right?

- But using the smiley face does make it seem a bit more personal. Like they're into you or something.

- I'd be a little suspicious cause like, they're in a position of power over you at work. That power imbalance can make things tricky if there's any flirting going on.

- At the same time, maybe they were just trying to be nice and it wasn't meant in a creepy way.

I'd say keep an eye out to see if they start acting any other ways that cross boundaries. For now just be polite back but don't give them too much encouragement one way or another. Hard to know what their deal is exactly based on that one text. Just be careful - better safe than sorry when a boss could make your work life hell ya feel me?
