I'm really sorry. I'm going to celebrate your birthday this weekend.
As you know, I have been swamped since I joined a new project team last month. On my boss's order, I need to stay at the office until midnight or attend a drinking party.
However, I will spare a lot of time for you this weekend.

1. This is better word phrasing.
2. The verb 'be' is redundant here.

Considering your demanding work schedule and the limited time you have available, how do you plan to make the most of the time you'll be sparing for the birthday celebration?

Please calm down, baby.
I have already made an elaborate plan, but I would like to surprise you, so could you allow me not to speak about it at this moment?
I will pick you up at 9 am this Saturday. I will never disappoint you.
Actually, I prepare a special present for you.

自然な表現

1. Use the present continuous verb tense to indicate that an action or condition is happening now, frequently, and may continue into the future.

Is that so? It better be good.
Saturday is around the corner, and I can't wait to see what you have planned. I was disappointed to think you'd actually forgotten about my birthday.

I am so sorry, baby, but I promise that I will never disappoint you from now on.
Anyway, how have you been today? I saw your post on Instagram. With whom did you go to the gorgeous restaurant? I was surprised to see that you enjoyed quite rich dinner which I have never had.

1. This is a better word choice.
2. Add the indefinite article when you are referring to something in general terms.

James, from work, treated me to a birthday lunch. I had never been to BT restaurant before. It's simply amazing!
We must go there some day.

I see, but why didn't you tell me before you had lunch with James?
You know I hate James because he is always too proud of himself, and I heard he
talk behind my back.
On top of that, I don't feel good about you going to a restaurant with a man alone.

You know I hate James because he is so full of himself and I heard him talk behind my back.
On top of that, I don't feel good about you going to a restaurant with a man alone.

1. This is a more natural expression.
2. This is proper word collocation

There was no way I would turn him down when he offered to treat me to a birthday lunch, I figured that it would be rude. Besides, it was in public so I was totally safe. So where are you planning to take me?

I understand, but even when you had a difficulty in rejecting an offer, you should have tried to find an alternative way, for example, asking your coworker to accompany. Also, I think it's a kind of sexual harassment to ask a woman to have lunch together although she feels reluctant.
As I said, please let me keep the secret about this weekend plan to surprise you.

1. The indefinite article is redundant here.
2. Use the determiner 'another' to refer to an additional person or thing of the same type as one already mentioned or known about; one more; a further.
3. This is proper word collocation.
4. Better phrasing
5. Apostrophes are used to form the possessive form of a singular noun or a plural noun not ending in s by adding ' and an s at the end.
