You have the CEO of a successful company (the penthouse he gave up is not cheap) moving into a different building to satisfy the whims of a nephew. How did this nephew become his ward? Did his parents die?

A delinquent nephew might not be quite enough motivation for a down to earth but driven (successful CEOs tend to be) man to change his circumstances and enter the circle of your MC. Perhaps the building belonged to the dead parents and the move was in part to watch over it more personally and in part to honour the memory of his dead sibling.

The company he runs would have to be the sort that inculcates a culture of no barriers or a lowly intern would likely never even see the CEO. He might eventually notice her and know this is the girl from 24b (her address would be on the application and on file).

You might need to make it his choice to offer the position of personal assistant (quite a plum position) to this college student.

Is it realistic that a CEO would live in such a building. Yes, but his social circles and schedule would still be what they are. He would be very busy, always going somewhere.

Friends and advisors would probably have told him that changing his life for a school age nephew who will be most likely striking out on his own in a few years might be detrimental to the child and the company. â€˜Moving to another building, Charles? Where does it end?â€™ He would be cautioned not to become an enabler for the nephew.

That he lives next door to the college kid is believable, just give him more than his nephew told him to. Make him a kind and caring person, but he must know that he does know better than his nephew since the boy is immature and a troubled work in progress while he has succeeded and is choosing to modify his life to straighten out his delinquent nephew.
