Don't look suspiciously when you are doing something surreptitiously ;-) 1. The assistant surreptitiously replaced one folder with the other, and the director did not mention anything. Though he was pretty suspicious about her later. 2. Next time when you do something like that, at least try not to look suspiciously. Everybody could tell that you were trying to replace the folder surreptitiously just by seeing your 'spy" face expression. 3. I saw a cat under the car and surreptitiously crept around hoping to get it out from under the car.

The use in three doesn’t work because when you are doing something surreptitiously you are trying not to be noticed. If you want the cat to react to you, it doesn’t work. A better use would be:

I saw a cat under the car and surreptitiously crept past it so as not to wake it.
