Secretiveness

Hello. Is the underscored part natural? What could I say instead to make it as natural as possible? Thanks.

What are you whispering about over there? Why can't you just tell me what's going on instead of all that secretiveness?

It makes sense, but I've never heard the word 'secretiveness' used in the UK. We would always use 'secrecy'.
