How to get NPC to follow you from a short distance?

Noob question, but I want a man (Man_Business) to follow me from a short distance, keeping within that distance but never getting too close. Any help please, I have nothing.

You could just keep checking the distance between the two, it would be best if you set what max and min distance are and just do some if statements based on the distance of the two. If he gets to close, he stops moving, if he starts getting far, he moves again toward the player. This is probably best put in update of the business man.
