Maybe luck was a part of it but it as also a good dose of natural charisma and powers that came with being a siren. Alex knew he was a personable person who loved his work, but being a siren didn't hurt. He'd always drawn people in, even when he wasn't quite aware of it, thought he'd always felt the opposite was true.
