Enclose the response in setTimeout

router.get('/', async (request, response) => {

  const {page, limit} = PaginationQueryParamsHelper.getPageAndLimit(request);
  const bookmarks = await PublicBookmarksService.getLatestPublicBookmarks(page, limit);

  setTimeout((() => {
    return response.send(bookmarks);
  }), 2000)
});
