Context: a character (messenger-G1) is suspecting the person who she's talking
to right now, is just a double and not the real (A-san) Leader of MC team.
They're in a meeting, and G1 thinks a leader should be a strong person with
longer hair than G2 (Dragon Ball reference ?), while A-san is timid and shy

Appreciate if someone help me understand the meaning of **" この流れなら私だろ"** here.

question
meaning manga conversations
What does this expression この流れなら私だろ！ means in this context? [Manga]
Literally, it means _**With this course** of conversation, it should be **me**
that you think is A-san_.

(Presumably) with 風格がたりない, G2 implicitly suggested that s/he is superior to
A-san, which (G2 assumed) would increase the chance of G2 being taken as the
leader. So G2 expected G1 to think that s/he is the leader. Then G1 directed
ってことは... to G3 (again, presumably), which contradicted G2's expectation,
whence この流れなら私だろ！.
