I'll lay it out as best I can, but take from it what makes most sense to you.
First bubble: Actually, I'm sorry (or: I'm embarrassed)! Honey, I have/had to go! I'll take you out for breakfast another time/day!
(As you can see, certain things in Chinese are open to interpretation, like tense and intended meaning...)
Second bubble: (This is a Chinese saying, but was written in an odd way... should be 我身在曹营心在汉, it means:) My body's in the enemy camp, but my soul's on our side! It's not fair for you! I'm so sorry/embarrassed!
That saying has something to do with being in a situation, where your heart and soul are on one 'side', but you're body's on another... She might be expressing a conflict she's having, related to her culture.
